And of course, as I said, you have to get accepted and THEN you get the almost free education. If you never went to primary or high school, you will almost definitely not be accepted to uni. Plus, a lot of towns don't have schools, or have very very lacking facilities. There is a separate board of education called the "indigenous board of education", or something like that, that tries to help out in underprivileged areas, but of course it's an uphill battle. The situation there is not perfect (or even good) by a long stretch.<br />I should say that I write what I know about it... I might be mistaken about some (or a lot!) of the details. I'm just repeating things I either witnessed or was told,A Conformerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312939307696267987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-45030985697918312492009-05-19T18:33:23.658-07:002009-05-19T18:33:23.658-07:00Oops, sorry, Laura!
