Marking time: inefficiencies in the schooling system and possible responses
This research paper examines inefficiencies in the South African schooling system, specifically the contradiction between high enrolment rates beyond compulsory age and low Grade 12 completion rates. The author argues that poor education quality and flawed assessment mechanisms drive grade repetition and drop-outs, and proposes the introduction of a General Education Certificate (GET) at Grade 9 as a medium-term policy response to improve labour market signaling and vocational transitions.
