Poor Economy,Poor Education and Planning the Escape

South Africa exited apartheid in 1994 with a fragmented and very unequal education system. The new democratic government had to integrate race-based education departments into a non-racial education system aimed at eradicating racial inequality and preparing learners for the world of work. Unfortunately, in the 27 years since the advent of democracy, the government has only been partially successful in achieving this aim. Although the democratic government registered progress in achieving access and even an improvement in the quality of education, most of the inequalities that existed in the mid-1990s still linger. Most township and deep rural schools still underperform former Model C schools (i.e., former white schools), failing to prepare learners for the 21st-century world of work.

Hetze und Meinungsfreiheit in Spanien

Die Verurteilung des spanischen Rappers Pablo Hasél zu einer Haftstrafe von neun Monaten, die er vor einer Woche antreten musste, hat in Deutschland viel Aufmerksamkeit erhalten. In der Berichterstattung mancher Medien wurde der Eindruck erzeugt, Hasél sei vor allem wegen Majestätsbeleidigung verurteilt worden und in Spanien sei die Meinungsfreiheit gefährdet. Viele Spanier im Land, aber auch solche, die in Deutschland leben, sind über diese Art der Berichterstattung erstaunt und verärgert, denn sie wissen, dass in ihrem Land die Meinungsfreiheit nicht gefährdet ist. Es gibt hier sicherlich weniger "Tabu-Themen" als in Deutschland.
