The Apartheid government used their direct control over the education curriculum to further
support the racial segregation of Apartheid, and brainwash black students into believing they
were not citizens of their own country. This education curriculum sparked a variety of
different responses in the Bantu Education sector. Question: Discuss how the Apartheid
government's control over the education curriculum in South Africa was used as a tool to
enforce racial segregation and suppress the black population's sense of citizenship. (50 X 2 =
100) In your response, analyse the specific methods employed within the curriculum to
reinforce racial hierarchies, the impact on the quality and accessibility of education for black
students, and the various responses from black students, parents, and communities.
Additionally, evaluate the long-term effects of these educational policies on the socio-
economic mobility and opportunities for black South Africans in the post-Apartheid era. (50)
