a.      The author talks about the dual education system based on race in South Africa in the second half of the twentieth century. We also have private schools and public schools in Nepal. What should be done to make education equal for all citizens of Nepal? Write a couple of paragraphs expressing your views.

Black Education Act, 1953 formerly known as the Bantu Education Act is made for the provision of racially separated education facilities in South Africa in the second half of the 20th Century until 1994. The trivial system of education was due to racial segregation known as the Apartheid system. The law was formulated in 1984 which divided the country into four racial groups-White, Black, Indians and Colored. The system of education for black people was discriminatory. The government allocated fewer funds for this segregated and unequal education system. White schooling was free, compulsory and expanding, in contrast, there were insufficient schooling facilities, teachers and educational materials.

In our country, the dual system of education exists not in terms of gender, color, religion, caste but terms of economic condition. Two types of schooling are in practice-private and community. In terms of government funding, it is different from the Bantu Education system in South Africa. The schools for black people were not funded by the government, whereas community schools in Nepal are funded by the government. Local, State or Federal governments provide funds for community schools but private schools are generally funded by parents or some donors. Government schools are run under the guidelines of the Government, but private schools are free to develop their curriculum. Teachers need a teaching license to teach in public schools but there is no such provision in private schools. Despite the government's investment, the quality of community schools is lower than that of private schools. They can provide quality education by following creative and innovative ways. But government schools are run under the rules and regulations of the government. Especially people from poor economic backgrounds admit their children to community school because education is free. Only rich people can admit their children to expensive private schools. As a result, two types of students are produced from such mixed types of schools. To give equal education, there should be a single system of education. Education should be equal to either rich or poor. There should not be bias in education. All children have the right to get an equal education. I think all schools should be run by the government. There should not be a division between public and private schools.
