Education as a means to escape
Education is a sensitive and serious topic to talk about in South Africa. The country has many issues regarding the quality of its education and how many people actually attend school. According to Codera Analytics, South Africa has a low graduation rate within its universities, with only an average of 17% across higher education institutions.

The low graduation rate means that walking across the stage in a cap and gown is an achievement to remember. What makes the education landscape even more dire is the pass rate within secondary schools. According to the Democratic Alliance (DA), the real matric pass rate in Mzansi is 55.3%.
South Africans were jumping for joy for the lady and had nothing but positive words to share.
