I made my way to the library through flocks of black-gowned students today 💫. It’s Matriculation Day in Oxford when new students become members of the University ‘forever and ever’. Loads of excitement, flowing robes, an oration in Latin and, to top it off, perhaps punting on the river with friends! 🛶🌿🥂

Being a student at Oxford basically means you become a tourist attraction.

Two decades after apartheid, it is still the case that the opportunities available to the average South African child are determined by their race, the wealth of their parents and the province of their birth. On November 29, 2013, Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga gazetted regulations related to minimum, uniform norms and standards for public schools infrastructure, which were to eradicate, within three years, pit latrines and ensure that all schools had access to water, libraries and the internet. Seven years later, it is clear the department and provincial governments had failed to meet these self-binding regulations. This bleak reality is exacerbated by knowing that according to the government’s own statistics in 2018; 86% of schools had no laboratory facilities, 77% had no library services and 72% had no access to internet connectivity. It also states more than three-quarters of children aged 9 cannot read for meaning and of 100 learners that start school, only 45% will pass matric and only 14 will go to university.
