An Education Imagined

Investigative documentary – 10min
Produced by Paul Harris, Kyla Herrmannsen, Nontobeko Sibisi & Laura Wener
The South African education system is in trouble. Falling pass rates, teacher shortages and a desperate lack of educational resources are common. Learners are failing to cope with school.
‘An Education Imagined’ looks at the Quintile System designed to right the wrongs of Apartheid education. Many feel it has made inequalities worse. Complex processes and government incompetency makes education outcomes unrealistic.
Through investigative journalism we examine the system in schools in Grahamstown and expose several flaws. While government officials sit in their offices and pass on the blame to others it is the learners who continue to suffer.
