Schooling for many students is unequally distributed, with some attending township schools close to a city and many attending deep rural schools.
“This, in turn, means that schooling for many students is unequally distributed from students going to schools in a township close to a city, while a lot of students go to deep rural schools (Spaull, 2013).”

Working-class students enter the South African education system with a distinct disadvantage because of their background, prior educational knowledge and their inability to effectively adapt to the education system.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
