South African students struggle to graduate

South African students continue to struggle to graduate high school and qualify for college. The numbers of those passing their matric exams are actually declining. The public schools need a huge increase in resources. However, no amount of resources on their own will bring about the desired results. Without parents in the home, I'm afraid we'll continue to see high failure rates interrupted by the rare "rise-above-my-situation" story. I think this is true for America as well as South Africa. Check out these articles and pray for this generation of South African students.
