HENRY NXUMALO

A tremendous amount of inconsistent argument has been advanced on the topic of education throughout the world by those who are authorities on this subject; also irresponsible people have taken upon themselves the task of denouncing education, condemining it whole-heartedly, and over-looking the fact that it is the system that is at fault and not education itself. Serious thinking people have surprisingly even suggested that examinations should be abolished, while others have advocated that the syllabus system should be condemned.
