Revolutionary Education Model - Low Cost

South Africa spends the most out of the BRICS countries on education and we are the lowest performers.

Now if there is a system to implement it would be one like this - I found the article quite intriguing in fact I want to do more research on it.

"An educational model developed in Colombia for poor, rural schools has spread to 19 countries and been honored for its contribution to international education.

Vicky Colbert of Colombia helped create Escuela Nueva, or New School, in 1975 for rural teachers who had multiple grades in the same class. Instead of teachers guiding lessons, students had more control of their learning and worked at their own pace. The curriculum is relevant to students' daily lives, and it aims to strengthen relationships between schools and their communities.

"While the philosophy is not new, its application in a low-cost way in rural communities by Ms. Colbert's team is revolutionary," according to a recent story about Colbert in The New York Times.

By 1988, Colombia's rural schools were outperforming most urban ones, and it provided the best primary education in all of Latin America to children living in rural areas, according to the Escuela Nueva website.
