Print on Demand. This book presents a detailed report from a committee tasked with the responsibility of analyzing and proposing recommendations for improving the education system of Southern Rhodesia. The report is divided into three main parts that dissect primary, secondary, and technical education within the territory. In part one, the document offers a thorough examination of the existing education system from its inception in 1895 through 1907. This is followed by an analysis of its impact on the children of Southern Rhodesia, along with statistical tables that illustrate enrollment, attendance, and funding provided through government grants. Part two offers a critical assessment of the challenges inherent in providing education to a region beset by a scattered population, diversity of nationalities, and a high degree of transience among its citizens. To address these challenges, the committee members assembled a list of suggestions including: revised and expanded grant structures that would encourage the creation of new schools; a proposal to make primary education both free and compulsory for all children between the ages of seven and fourteen, with the stipulation that children who pass the fourth standard before the age of fourteen could be released from this requirement; the establishment of boarding schools or hostels to provide room and board for children located far from existing educational institutions; the introduction of nature study, hygiene, and drawing to the school curriculum; alterations to school holidays to permit older boys to assist with the family farm during harvest season; and the establishment of cadet corps at schools with sufficient enrollment to foster military training. The third and final part of the report places an emphasis on the need to provide secondary education for the children of Southern Rhodesia while also acknowledging the challenges of doing so in a region where the existing population is often isolated and transient. The authors suggest that these challenges could be overcome through the allocation of existing public schools within each district to provide both primary, secondary, and preparatory education. To ensure that these provisions are used to their fullest, the authors of this report conclude that providing free boarding and scholarships to students of promise might be prudent to incentivize enrollment in these schools. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
