Twenty-one years after the end of apartheid, South Africa remains one of the most unequal countries on the planet. Yoliswa Dwane went to a township school where she was crammed into a classroom with 100 other students and only one teacher. Now she’s dedicated her career to improving South Africa’s education system through the social movement Equal Education. In this excerpt from The Inquiry she explains how she sees poor schooling as at the root of her country’s continuing inequality.
