Abstract

There has been continuous heated debates in South Africa regarding whether the constitutional rights to access education is being fulfilled or not. This article highlights the inherent rights to education as mandated by the constitution and argues that despite the constitutional mandates, majority of the people, especially the less privileged and the vulnerable are still facing tremendous difficulties in order to access this fundamental right. The article examines various strategic policies and legal interventions that have been put in place to ensure that the constitutional mandate is fulfilled and realized.
