Student Perceptions of Institutional Racial Climate

The South African higher education system has historically been marked by racial, class, and gender inequities. Many of these are the heritage of the discriminatory policies of the apartheid era that divided institutions of higher education along ethno-linguistic lines. Racial classification assumed a pivotal role in the distribution of educational opportunities, effectively impeding the academic progress of many Black students while advancing that of their White counterparts. Since the democratic election of the African National Congress-led government in 1994, there has been a concerted effort to transform the system of higher education from one marred with racial, gender, and class inequities to one that is more equitable.
