SOUTH AFRICA spends 6.1% of its GDP on education, a bigger chunk than most other countries, yet its results are among the worst. In the World Economic Forum ’s latest Global Competitive Index it ranks bottom (out of 133 countries) in both maths and science education. In the 2006 Progress in International Reading and Literacy Study it also came bottom (out of 40 countries), as it did in the 2003 Trends in International Maths and Science Study (out of 48 countries). Humiliated, it withdrew from the next TIMSS in 2007. The difficulty with such studies is that they reflect averages. At the top, South African students do as well as anyone, but the great majority are performing way below their capabilities.
