South Africa's public education system shows signs of serious decline. Reports of dismal graduation rates, bad teachers and crumbling buildings are commonplace. Martin Phillips reports for VOA from Grahamstown that in Eastern Cape Province, one of the poorest regions in the country, the public education system is in chaos.

  • its true, the students do most of the damage to the physical school

  • @ivansnyman your logic is invalid, it's like asking why do you shave your beard when It's gonna grow again

  • this school looks like shit why ? the students have done this i know my school looks just like this . why buy new stuff when you know its gona get broken .

  • THIS COMING FROM THE VOICE OF AMERICA? HOW IRONIC! PLEASE DON'T FORGET WE ARE WHERE WE ARE TODAY BECAUSE OF YOU STUPID OBE THAT BLEW UP IN OUR FACES.

  • Moving stuff! We should all be passionate and involved with things like this!

  • Templar, I am from South Africa and THE ECONOMY IS NOT THRIVING. EVERYTHING THAT IS GOVERNMENT RUN IS FALLING APART!!!

  • @TemplarX2 The government has had a surge of money since 2001 and the middle and upper classes are thriving while unemployment for the lower classes is rampant. Typical of communist societies. Drop the racism (from what you said to TheCleo), bro.

  • South Africa has a large higher education system comprising 21 universities, l5 Technikons (Universities of Technology), 50 Teachers Training Colleges and scores of Agricultural and Nursing Colleges. Its the same in Ukraine, Russia, Kosovo but meanwhile not every City life Teacher will go to the Rural Areas but they need 2change.

  • @008TheCleo Don't come here; go back to stinking Europe you albino neanderthal.

  • Wow those white dumb asses always portray S.Africa badly when in fact the economy is thriving.
