    South Africa spends more of its budget on education than Japan or Switzerland. But students are failing.http://on.wsj.com/2aPWnZt

        Parents #work their butts off to afford their #education, @WSJ. Hence, students aren't given enough attention by #parents, lack role models.

        Sounds like the US. Just throw $ at a bankrupt system and expect a different result. Disgraceful but typical. Government sucks!

        , don't LIE from a glass house. The bulk of that budget, goes to paying admin staff at the bloated Dept Of Education. Biased research.

        @patmcgroarty Perhaps the educational system sucks! Teachers are probably inadequately supplied or just inadequate themselves!

        Is South Africa modeling their public education on the U.S.A.'s public education system? Don't follow us #overthecliff!
