Children's daily travel to school in Johannesburg-Soweto, South Africa
This paper has two aims: to explore approaches to the measurement of children's daily travel to school in a context of limited geospatial data availability and to provide data regarding school choice and distance travelled to school in Soweto-Johannesburg, South Africa. The paper makes use of data from the Birth to Twenty cohort study (n = 1428) to explore three different approaches to estimating school choice and travel to school. First, straigh…

Who is out of school? Evidence from the Statistics South Africa Community Survey
Gender repetition
Using data collected by the Birth‐to‐Twenty child cohort study in urban South Africa, this paper describes the patterns of schooling of a population of children born in the Greater Johannesburg area in April to June 1990.

On the Constitutionality of Single-Medium Public Schools
The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 allows the creation of independent educational institutions and permits such institutions to enforce admissions policies that discriminate between learners who wish to participate in the affairs of a given linguistic and cultural community and those who do not wish to participate in or advance that community's vision of the good life. When it comes to public schools, however, the state's tole…
Structural Change, Leadership and School Effectiveness/Improvement
This article comments on leadership within mainstream literature on school effectiveness/improvement, where it is almost always considered to be a factor of change. The article argues that systemic school improvement, particularly for disadvantaged children, is inextricably linked to wider social, economic and political conditions—in South Africa’s case, the political transition from apartheid to democratic government. These structural conditions…
Social scientists as policy makers
This is a study of the South African National Bureau for Educational and Social Research from its founding in 1929 until the publication of the Bilingual School in 1943. It explores a number of major research projects that were undertaken by the Bureau in the 1930s including social research on the ‘poor white problem’, African education, IQ Testing, educational measurement, and bilingualism. It argues that the founder of the Bureau, the American …
