IS COMPULSORY EDUCATION NECESSARY?by N. R ATH IN ASAM Y

"One of the hallmarks of the democrati- sation of educaf/on throughout the world has been compulsory attendance. " This statement appeared in a recent article in a local newspaper, in which a white educa­tionist poses the question.-

"Is compulsory education still necessary and effective in South Africa? The writer felt that with present-day developments, far too many unwilling pupils ended up in high school, and because of their reluctance and/ or inability to follow the normal school cur­riculum, they created problems both for themselves and for their teachers.

We have always felt that one of the rights which we did not enjoy and which we have demanded in the past is compulsory education for all, meaning in effect com­pulsory aitendance at school from about the age of 6 to 16. At the moment, it cannot be said that compulsory education as applied to whites in this country, is a policy that is applied to Blacks. This should mean, in theory, that only those who want to come to school, or whose parents want them to come to school, do so, and that because their attendance is voluntary, they will make the best possible use of the facilities pro­vided there.

However, those of us who are connected with high school education for Indian pupils have noted that for some years now that the enthusiasm once seen in and demonstrat­ed by pupils in the 1950's and 1960's seems to have disappeared. At the senior secon­dary level, only those students who feel that they have a reasonable chance of obtaining a university entrance pass, work with any kind of purpose or motivation. The greater majority just seem to carry on aimlessly, drifting along from day to day and if for­tunate, picking up a senior certificate at the end of their school years.

Furthermore, all high schools can report on an increase in truancy. Some pupils be­gin by playing truant as early as Std. 6 or 7, become confirmed in the habit, and often drop out of school, without obtaining even a Std. 8 certificate. In a country where paper qualifications are so important, what hope have these children of obtaining worthwhile employment, worthwhile from a point of view of remuneration and of personal satis­faction! Very little indeed!

When one travels through Lenasia on a school day, one cannot but feel deeply perturbed by the large number of adoles­

cents who wander around the streets and hang around the shops. These young people are obviously neither attending school nor working. Without being engaged in either of these pursuits, it seems reasonable to assume that sooner or later they will become delinquent in behaviour. In this development lies the seeds of much trouble for the com­munity in the future.

There are, of course, many reasons for this apparent apathy towards attending school. In spite of the policy of differentiat­ed education, applied on a new basis since 1973, many pupils do not find suitable courses to follow. As yet, technical and vocational training have not been developed in the Transvaal. Obviously, for many pu­pils, the academic courses offered by most high schools ore unsuitable. Again, there also seems an aversion for non-academic courses. Consequently, many pupils in spite of the advice of their teachers, persist in choosing academic courses for which they are unsuited. As soon as they find studies becoming too difficult, they resort to the easy way out by becoming truants, and after a while, drop­outs from high schools.

It does seem, therefore, that lack of com­pulsion to attend school does not neces­sarily mean that those who then come to school, they come to school with a positive attitude towards learning, as the writer of the article previously referred to implies. He states: "Rather than having many studentsentering classrooms with negative and belli­gerent attitudes as a result of being com- pelfed to attend school, a much more posi­tive attitude would prevail. "

What should be consider instead, is a period of compufsory education until the age of 14. Thereafter after appropriate apti­tude and personafity tests have been applied, pupils can then go to further training in the fields best suited to them and in the appro­priate institutions. It does not necessarily mean that they should continue attending high schools, of the type with which we are familiar. Institutions which provide pre- vocational training should be considered to be part of the educational structure and attendance at this type of institution could be considered for the last part of the compul­sory period of education for pupils unsuited to academic education.

SLAUGHTER OF AN INNOCENTby P. C. DESAI

The se lling ' o f tou rnam ent brochures to the pub lic is a necessary advertisem ent o f the on ­com ing event. It is also a task fra u g h t w ith frus tra tion , as I rue fu lly discovered last year. A fte r much th ough t and innovation by the General Secretary and m onths o f arduous w o rk by a ll concerned our masterpieces were fin a lly ready. The on ly th ing le ft w as the 'assault' on the pub lic or so I fo n d ly im ag ined .

D ivided in to groups, w e started on our first day w ith bub b lin g enthusiasm , knocked on the firs t door, and w en t th rough the d r ill; a descrip tion o f the p icturesque q u a lity o f the brochure; o f its academ ic va lue and the fact th a t the con tribu to r w as serving in the u p lift- m ent o< m ankind . The answ er w as a terse 'N o.' U ndaunted, s till be liev ing in the inhe­rent good nature o f the hom o sapiens species, w e carried on. A t another door w e were con­fron ted by a precocious ch ild w ho , upon our enqu iry, said; 'M y da d d y says he's not a t home.'

A t regu la r in terva ls, o f course, rays o f sun­shine burst th rough; w e w ere inv ited to p a r­take o f refreshments, rest our w eary legs, and encouraged to persevere in our e ffo rts . N one­theless, the loud tra il o f people p lead ing poverty continued; doors w ere slam m ed in our faces; tipsy, boisterous people o ffe red us d rinks w ith o u t the pleasure o f a m onetary con tribu tion and an encounter w ith a pro fes­sed non-be liever in the princip les o f a ltru ism was also over. The grand fina le came w ith our being to ld by a rem orse fu l-look ing man th a t as his w ife , w ho had a ll the m oney, was a w a y he could not bless us w ith his con tribu ­tion . U n fo rtuna te ly his innocent daugh te r ch ipped in: 'But d addy , mom is inside thehouse.' Red-faced the man retreated inside and the tea rfu l daugh te r returned fo r the brochure.

The- day ended, w e counted our fortunes and found th a t good had tr ium phed in the end, m any people had responded generously, fo r our ta rge t had been reached. That n igh t, I am sure, each o f us fe ll asleep counting brochures in his m ind.

Wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.— Mark Twain.

Cain cannot be made without some other person’s loss.— Publilius Syrus.

Continued from Page 27

However, we are still some years away from a system of compulsory education. In the meantime, we are already faced with the problem of increasing numbers of truants and drop-outs. With these problems, the schools and the community must come to grips, if real progress is to be registered in the community at large !

IGNORANCE

Ignorance has p reva iled am ong a ll peoples th rough the ages; it a ffects our in te llec t as w e ll as our in te lligence. Therefore, it is abso­lu te ly necessary th a t it m ust be kept a t a lo w ' level, i f w e are to m ake headw ay tow ards the goa l God has in store fo r us a ll.

The tra g e d y th roughou t the w o rld now and fo r ages past has been th a t Ignorance has been a llo w e d to ride h igh instead o f being kept a t a lo w level.

Ignorance has to be com ple te ly e lim ina ted , and because o f th is, re lig ious and secular education , cu lture fo r better hum an re la tio n ­ship and d isc ip line became apparen t. Through­out the w o rld , especia lly the W estern W orld , stress is m a in ly la id on secular education. S p iritua l education, w h ich is more im portan t, is m erely glessed over, i f a t a ll g iven!

In the East there is more re lig ious con­sciousness and o f the need fo r ind ispensib le sp iritua l va lues. The im p a rtin g o f re lig ious education, how ever, is not w e ll o rgan ised, so th a t it could reach the masses. W here it is a va ila b le , the w hys and w herefores o f re li­g ious education and its necessity, is ev iden tly m issing a fac to r fo r w hich the young m ind o f the student o f re lig ion , consciously and sub­consciously, is a lw ays slacking and seeking. He finds h im se lf frus tra ted and d isappo in ted a t be ing le ft in a state o f unen ligh tened vacuum .

M an has a llo w e d Ignorance to dom ina te h im th rough lack o f gu idance b rough t abou t by his long stand ing and custom ary inertia and sheer laziness. He does not m ake use o f his fa cu lty o f th in k in g or m ake any e ffo rt to educate and im prove h im se lf, consequently he has been flo u n d e rin g a long a n yhow to no useful purpose, creating dangerous cond ition w h ich are existent today .

The Management

—o placidly amid the noise & haste, & remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons.

Speak your truth quietly & clearly; and listen to others, even the dull & ignorant; they too have their story. * Avoid loud & aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain & bitter; for always there will be greater & lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. * Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes o f time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full o f trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full o f heroism. * Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face o f all aridity and disenchantment it is perennial as the grass. * Take kindly the counsel o f the years, gracefully surrendering the things o f youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with imaginings. Many fears are born o f fatigue & loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. * You are a child o f the universe, no less than the trees & stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. * Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labours & aspirations, in the noisy confusion o f life keep peace with your soul. * With all its sham, drudgery & broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be careful. Strive to be happy. * *

Who Am Iby Thakor G. Patel

Deluded by the material objects o f th is devastating w orld My true identity is buried in th is vast c loud of darkness The "S e lf", like the sun in the shadows o f an overcast sky Leaves me to ask th is question: "W ho am I” .

My body is but a temple in w hich a gem sparkles Concealed w ith in the walls of my heart, ageless and ever-new He that is birfhless, deathless and changeless Leaves everlasting memories o f Him who is in me and you.

Many specimens o f nature stand decora ting th is w orld All bathed in heaven's golden rays and ra in-drops too ...The master engraver has chiselled these tablets,To make His sp irit flow from me to you.

by Harry M. Gihwaia

"Sometime when you ’re feeling im portant, Sometime when you r ego ’s in bloom, Sometime when you take it fo r granted. That yo u ’re the best in-the room.

Sometime when you feel that your going. Would leave an unfiliab le hole,Just fo llow th is sim ple instruction ,And see how it hum bles your soul.

Take a bucket and fill it w ith water.Dip your hand in it up to the wrist,Pull it ou t and the hole that's rem aining Is the measure o f how you ’ll be missed.

You may splash all you like when you enter. You may stir up the water galore.But stop, and yo u ’ll find in a m om ent That it looks qu ite the same as before.

The moral o f th is qua in t example.Is to do just the best you can.Be proud o f yourself, but remember.There is NO indispensable m an,”

Ybur ComerEverybody has a niche that they

were meant to f i l l— a corner o f the universe in which

to w ork God’s w ill ...Everybody has a task, a mission

on the earth—a chance to use or waste the gifts

bestowed on them at b irth .

Find your place, your w ork, your bent and then w ith joy and zest - put your heart in to your task, your utm ost and your best . . .

You w ill not be judged by prizes gained and laurels won.I t is not the job tha t matters; i t ’s the way i t ’s done.

Do the thing tha t you were sent in to the world to do.No one else can f i l l tha t certain niche — no one but you . . .Be the kind o f person God intended you to be — working ou t His plan and purpose conscientiously.

Patience Strong.

Those who have everything but Thee, m y God: laugh at those who have noth ing but Thyself.

"W h a t then is the question? you m ig h t w e ll ask. The prim e question to my m ind is the fo llo w in g ; In the context o f the present day so-called m a ­te ria lis tic and in d iv id u a lis tic c iv iliza ton w here, more p a rt i­cu la rly in the sphere o f bus i­ness and commerce, the be lie f or m otto seems to be "e v e ry ­one fo r h im se lf" , w h y are there a lw ays people, such as you and I, w ho v o lu n ta rily serve the com m unity , in some sphere or the other, w ith the ob ject o f m aking life a little better fo r a ll, especia lly the poor, the deprived and the less fo rtuna te?W hy, as someone pu t it the

other day, is there th is han ­kering fo r the sacrifice o f pos­s ib ly va lu a b le personal tim e energy, and e ffo rt in pursu it o f serving the needs o f others, or the collective needs o f society?

1. Is it because it is hum an nature? In other w ords, in the same w a y th a t hum an beings are endow ed w ith po ten tia l in te llect, are we also endow ed w ith certain po ten tia l hum an ita rian

tra its? It is said tha t th rough the centuries man has been undergo ing a process o f in te llectua l evo­lu tion w hich w il l u lt im a ­te ly result in m an's em an­c ipa tion from his lavish a ttachm ent to sentim ent. If th is results, w h a t is go ing to happen to our hum an nature?

2. Is it because it has be­come ing ra ined in the hearts and m inds o f man since p rim eva l days tha t his sa lva tion lies in a gregarious existence, fo r the comm on safety o f a ll, because p rim eva l man w ith his com para tive ly w eak and phys ica lly in a p t constitu tion could not in- v id u a lly survive the on ­s laugh t o f p rim eva l beasts w h ich also inhab ited the earth? If such a suppos i­tion is true, is man then in the process o f r id d in g h im se lf o f one more use­less behav ioura l a p p e n d ­age ?

Is it because those w ho have, as d is tinc t from those w h o have not, su ffe r from g u ilt com plexes? I th in k not, because there are a lso those w ho serve, bu t w ho have not.

10. A nd last, bu t not least, is i t because hum an ity is o n e in d iv is ib le w ho le , and th a t w h ich affects one tin y m iserab le speck w e call a hum an being,

affects us a ll ?

The h istory o f m ank ind has tim e and aga in dem onstrated th is in d iv is ib ility o f hum an ity . The vastness and m agn itude o f w ars and conflicts between peoples and nations have a ll' had a com m on root— d e p riva ­tion.

D epriva tion o f m eagre m ate­ria l needs, o f m ora l re lig ious and other aesthetic com forts, and above a ll the dep riva tion o f hum an d ig n ity , in a human society w here each strives in a greater or lesser measure to a tta in tha t one sm all recogni­tion , th a t he or she too is a m em ber o f this un ique collec­tion w e call the hum an race, is the roo t cause o f w o rld con­flic ts and struggles. The casualties o f such dep riva tion w ill a lw ays rem ain m ankind 's greatest respons ib ility .

I believe th a t the answ er to the prim e question I pu t a t the beg inn ing lies no t on ly w ith ourselves, bu t in the pu r­pose and in the u ltim a te d irec­tion and goa l o f m ankinds eventua l fa te.

The w ords o f the Late Sena­to r Robert Kennedy a t the U niversity o f the W itw a te rs- rand, on the 8th June, 1966, ring true. He said:

"W e a ll s trugg le to transcend the cruelties and the fo llies o f m ankind . That s trugg le w ill not be w on by s tand ing a lo o f and p o in ting the fin g ­er; it w il l be w on by action, by men w ho com m it the ir action, by men w ho com m it the ir every resource o f m ind and body to the education and im provem ent and help o f the ir fe llo w -m a n ."

I be lieve it to be a p p rop ria te to have raised some o f these

c ritica l, and perhaps ana ly tica l and soul-reaching questions in o rder to h ig h lig h t the A m rit Bhowan M em oria l Scho­la rsh ip Fund’s com m ita l to in ­vo lvem ent in society's u p lif t- m ent a n d deve lopm ent th rough education. For, i t is

im p o rta n t fo r a ll o f us to know and understand the m o tiva ­tions w h ich d irect our invo lve ­m ent in such activ ities.

I w o u ld go to the extent o f saying th a t w e should a ll, tim e and aga in , ponder upon these and the m any re lated questions, as w e ll as d e lib e ­rate upon our ow n in d iv id u a l m o tiva tions fo r our in vo lve ­m ent in com m un ity w ork.

If a n y th ing , it can on ly ga in fo r us a clearer and a more log ica l perspective and ins igh t in to the u ltim a te d irection o f our co llective fa te on earth. Let our invo lvem ent no t on ly be m ean ing fu l and purposefu l, bu t le t it a lso be one o f a im and d irection , lest w e find ou r­selves in a s itua tion described by R ab indranath Tagore as endeavouring to carry our tired selves on our ow n shoulders, or the beggar com ­ing to beg a t his ow n fro n t d o o r !

Y LIFE IN FOOTB/1LL by DANIEL RICHARD MYLES

I jo ined Arsenal Football C lub a t the age o f 21 years and p layed fo r th is g rea t club fo r 9 years. This g rea t team w as a ff il ia te d to the S.A.S.L. and p layed in the Prom otion League o f th is g rea t League. D uring its tim e in the league, A rsenal w on the 2nd D ivisionn in honours and also reached the fina l o f the K.O. com pe ti­tion in the league. I am proud to say th a t I pa rtic ipa ted in each and every match fo r Arsenal. We w ere defeated by the g reat A va lon A th le tic in the K.O. fina l in Durban, bu t A rsenal le ft its m ark in Football than can never be erased.

D uring the tim e I p layed fo r Arsenal I was the m anager of my ow n young team , M a n ­chester United o f N oordgesig . This young team had excep­tiona l good and enthusiastic players. They could p lay soc­cer from m orn ing to n ig h t and never ge t tired o f p lay ing the gam e. I read a lo t o f fo o tb a ll therefore it w as easy fo r me to coach them and gu ide them to become a fo rm id a b le side. I am a person w ho be­

lieves in d isc ip line and a lw ays received the respect o f my players. I learn more from a lose then a w in .

A fte r the sp lit w ith M anches­ter U nited, Leicester C ity was fo rm ed. I knew the p layers because they were the jun io r p layers o f Manchester. I s ta rt­ed b u ild in g the team and they started w ith the r ig h t a ttitude tha t p rom is ing youngsters should. They gave me the ir loya l support and settled into the pattern I w an ted them to p lay . D uring the 4 years o f b u ild in g Leicester I prom otea p rom is ing p layers like Charles M ackett, Richard Louw, A n ­thony A lexander, etc. I neverbelieve in buy ing a p layer ifthere is a p rom is ing youngster in our low er d iv is ion .

Presently I am b u ild in g Lei­cester to become the side I know th a t they can becomebecause the a b ility o f the p layers is very h igh . Leicester C ity w il l be a t the ir peak in another tw o years, then I w ill k tiow th a t w h a t I have inm ind w ill be fu lfille d .

more, and the crowds w ill a ga in be flock ing to keep a live the name o f one o f our ou ts tand ing sons and to con­tr ibu te to a very w o rthy cause.

One is fille d w ith adm ira tio n fo r the ded ication and sp ir it o f com m unity se lf-he lp o f the organisers.

A nd ta lk in g abou t crowds and com m unity interests, it is one o f the more curious aspects o f our sport th a t w hen it comes to lend ing w h o le ­hearted vocal support to the ir teams, our crowds are much more reserved than the ir coun­terparts elsewhere.

We have none o f the orga- sed mass chanting and s in g ­ing associated w ith crowds abroad .

We become too easily ra ttled w hen our teams a ren 't do ing w e ll. A p a rt from the occa­sional local derby, our crowds are fa r too qu ie t to g ive the ir teams th a t extra vocal sup­port w hich can l if t them .

As one lead ing sportsm an put it, w e have fa r too m any critics and not enough sup­porters.

C erta in ly , it can be argued th a t the huge crow ds a t spo rt­ing events overseas im m e d ia ­te ly create an a tm osphere o f excitem ent and partisansh ip .

But s m a l l , enthusiastic crowds can also generate excitem ent.

For sheer, mass hysteria, how ever, one doubts if there is any c row d anyw here tha t can match th a t a t G lasgow 's H am pden Park w hen riva ls Celtic and Rangers meet.

There it is a s tric tly re lig ious phenom enon, w ith Protestants supporting Rangers and Ca­tholics roo ting fo r Celtic. O bv ious ly , the b ig o try d is ­p layed in such a setting can be tru ly fr ig h te n in g . A nd it is a sp in e -ting ling experience fo r the neutra l fan w ho goes there.

To me, the most m em orable crow d is a t C a rd iff Arm s Park w hen W ales p lay a rugby in te rna tiona l.

One cannot describe the fe r­vour o f 50 000 em otiona l W elshm en in th a t bo ilin g cau ldron s ing ing w ith one voice. The Welsh can rea lly be lt it out, as Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey have proved.

experience fo r the v is itin g fan. One can im ag ine how v is itin g p layers feel w hen they run on the fie ld .

As fa r as soccer goes, there isn 't a better crow d than a t A n fie ld , home o f live rpoo l Football C lub.

Behind one goa l is a stand co iled the "K o p " . Here, up to 20 000 fana tica l fans congre­gate, s tand ing shoulder-to- shoulder, w a v in g the ir red scarves, s ing ing , chanting and m aking a fea rfu l d in w ith the ir rattlers.

It is said these fans are w o rth a goa l's s tart to Liver­pool every tim e, and looking a t L iverpool's home record, fe w w o u ld argue.

W in or lose, the Koppites continue to encourage the ir team .

W hen Liverpool are in the lead, one huge chorus sings: "Y o u 'l l Never W a lk A lo n e " . . o ther short d itties currently in the h it parade are up-da ted to su it the ir team . A nd then the chants o f L i-ver-pool, accom panied b y rhythm ic handclaps, start s lo w ly and b u ild up in to a frenetic cres­cendo.

W hatever new song or chant the Kop starts is soon adop ted on the terraces o f o ther clubs.

As befits the c ity th a t pro- produced the Beatles, the K op­pites are the trend-setters in soccer' s ing-song.

N ot th a t the Liverpool fans

are en tire ly one-sided. If any oppos ition p laye r does w e ll, the sporting Kop soon lets him know o f it by g iv in g him a special ova tion — a t the end o f the gam e.

The city o f L iverpool has ano ther top professiona l team — Everton. Everton have a l­m ost as m any supporters as L iverpool, bu t they d o n 't have charism a.

For Liverpool F.C. are the real "p e o p le 's te a m ". Their legen­d a ry fo rm er m anager. Bill Shankley, w as a man o f the people. He loved the Kop and the Kop loved him .

In the last match before his retirem ent, Shankley le ft his m anager's d u g -o u t and w en t in to the Kop to shake hands w ith his team 's fans.

Shankley incensed Everton supporters w hen he rem arked o n c e : “ There are on ly tw oteam s in th is c ity — Liverpool and Liverpool Reserves.”

A nd in a soccer-mad city, no th ing is unaffected by the fo o tb a ll fana tic ism .

Dozens o f stories abou t the fans ' w ittic ism s are o ften re­la ted. One concerns Ian St. John, once L iverpool's star centre fo rw a rd and K ing o f o f the Kop.

In a Liverpool churchyard, a s ignboard asked so lem nly : "W h a t happeneth w hen the Lord com eth?”

Someone scraw led be low it ; "M o ve to St. John to inside r ig h t.”

Just like tha t, as if it were the most log ica l th ing in the w o rld .

A no the r sign urged : • "Re­pent, before it is too la te .” To w h ich someone added : "B yjo in in g L iverpoo l.”

W hen Liverpool p layed in the FA Cup Final in 1965 — agam e in w h ich our ow n A lb e rt Johanneson turned out fo r Leeds U nited — no one could rem em ber the na tiona l anthem being sung w ith such gusto as d id the Koppites a t W em bley th a t day. LJntil they listened more closely . . .

The fans w ere not s ing ing “ God Save O ur Gracious Q ueen.” They sang.- "G od Save O ur Gracious Team " . . .

Royalty m igh t have been taken aback by the sw itch o f lo ya lty . But w ith support like that, w h ich team w o u ld n 't rise to the occasion ?
