Sections: the missionary period - Sir George Grey's policy - after the discovery of gold - after Union - the basis is laid for Bantu Education - petit-bourgeois ideology - the De Villiers Commission - the Eiselen Commission - Bantu Education Act of 1953 and subsequent legislation on - post-1976 policy.
