💨 Abstract

The BELA Act, designed to modernize and equalize South Africa's education system, was fully implemented by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Dec 20, 2024, after three months of deliberations. The Act has received mixed reactions, with proponents viewing it as a step towards addressing historical inequalities in education, while opposition voices express concerns about threats to school autonomy, language, and admissions policies.
