Smash Bantu Education

<p>The 1953 Bantu Education Act placed the education of black students under the jurisdiction of the apartheid government. The act exacerbated the conditions of apartheid by limiting state funding to schools that accepted the substandard curriculum of the newly established Department of Bantu Education. That curriculum allowed for only three hours of instruction per day and mandated a racially discriminatory focus on training for unskilled labor and menial jobs that served the white ruling minority. This poster speaks out against the act, which remained in effect until 1979.</p>
