Blacks Boycott Schooling in Segregation Fight Rages On
In Port Elizabeth townships thousands of black pupils boycott classes over inferior facilities under apartheid. About 63,000 students have stayed away since March to protest separate education and funding. Government actions include closing 84 black high schools in the eastern Cape and Bloemfontein, while leaders demand equal education, detentions’ release, and teachers returned from rural reassignment. Desmond Tutu criticizes the policy as maintaining an inferior system.
