Answer to Question #219126 in Sociology for Alicia Geel

Question

What is meant by access to schools? Provide an example of why access to South African schools is not always equal.

Answer 1

Access to schools refers to how academic institutions guarantee that all students have equitable access to learning opportunities. It can also refer to the capacity to access academic institutions and the services they provide. An example of why access to South African educational institutions is not always equal includes poor infrastructure in government schools, the inadequacy of teaching-learning materials, and the inadequacy of teaching staff.
