Answer to Question #228043 in Economics for Nozipho

Question

1.1 tabulate the difference between 1992 and 2021 curriculum development in South Africa

Answer 1

The education system in South Africa is represented by private and public schools. Approximately every tenth institution in the state is commercial. Education in them is paid, in state ones - the budget is calculated for the children. The academic year in the country begins in mid-January and lasts until the end of November or early December.

A South African diploma or certificate is considered a serious argument for confirming the degree of education not only in Africa, but also far beyond its borders. Despite this, there are no more than 30,000 foreign pupils and students here. At the same time, there are enough foreigners interested in studying. This is explained by the low cost, for example, for 1 completed course in a higher educational institution, a student must pay only 3-4 thousand dollars. At the same time, he has the right to use the numerous funds and cash desks that provide assistance to students.

Higher education can be obtained in two types of institutions: universities or technicons. The difference between them is that the latter uses a more in-depth study of the technical part.

The number of institutions of this kind has already reached 130, of which only 23 are funded by the state, the rest are private. In other aspects, there is no difference.

Depending on the goal pursued by the applicant, the course can consist of 3 steps:

Undergraduate (student, inexperienced, beginner - English), can last from 3 to 6 years. After completing the program, the student receives a bachelor's degree.

Postgraduate (postgraduate, graduate student), after studying for another 2 years, you can get a master's degree.

The doctoral degree becomes available after a two-year course.
