So far Jobreaders is concerned with educational opportunities; this post should serve as a guide for entrance into best and most renowned tertiary or secondary schools in the whole of the South.

A college in this context is an educational institution that may also include degree-awarding tertiary institutions in South Africa Secondary schools and the likes of any other college in SA offering Vocational degrees.

There are numerous other colleges in SA, but there are distinguished institutions; maybe as a result of their commitment to improvising to world standards of education or simply people’s choice based on intimate factors.

But whatever the case may be, we have compiled a list that can guide students and parents while making decision and researches.

If there is a very good school whose features we failed to mention in this journal, you can also help us by including them through the comment section.

Who knows South Africa?

In Africa, the great nation is not known for numbers, political equations and oil, but by their unique diversity, in tribes, colours and ancients pedigrees.

We would have mentioned their position before other African countries but nations’ ranking is beyond the jurisdiction of this content.

In other words, we are not ready to rank countries in Africa.

But with regards to educational policies and government, South Africa is one of the most innovate in the whole of Africa, giving credence to the past and present administrations of the country governments.

And just like we must have aired in the past, the Xenophobia attack on other African nations has only been the dirty hands in the face of the country’s historical background.

And inasmuch as we are not ready to criticize or support the actions of the people, the government and the observing communities.

Africa will always continue to be the best land in the world, irrespective of the diversities and misunderstanding.

Myths about Colleges

Colleges in South Africa and through other nations in the world have the same stories and capabilities. Degrees and other certificates brag about certifying graduates in characters and in learning, but in the real sense, the ability to develop character and learn is individualistic.

If you happen to be in any of this South African school or intend to delve because of the entitlement mentality, then there is a problem somewhere.

The essence of schooling is to develop skills, learn communication and interaction. And the most paramount is to become a community solution. School titles do no convert the award of street credibility, to anyone.

It only proves that you have been trained, and the ability to put them to work becomes students’ choices.

Why do we say this, these have been one of the most dangerous myths that affect societal development and the earlier we understand these things the better.
