The Bantu Education Act (Act No. 47 of 1953) was a South African law enacted in 1953 and effective from January 1, 1954, that governed the education of Black South African (also called native or Bantu by the country’s government) students. It was part of the government’s system of apartheid, which sanctioned racial segregation and discrimination against nonwhites in the country. The Bantu Education Act provided separate but unequal educational opportunities for Black South Africans.
