Question
The Influence of Privatization:
Conflict Theory argues that economic inequality can lead to power imbalances and exploitation. In an attempt to address the shortcomings of the public education system, the South African government has turned to privatization, seeking financial support from multinational corporations. However, this has further deepened educational disparities. Privatization inherently favors those with financial resources, enabling them to access better educational opportunities. This reliance on private funding creates a two-tiered education system, where those who can afford it receive a higher quality education, while the majority are left behind.

One source that provides evidence supporting the above statement is a journal article titled "Privatization and Educational Inequality in South Africa: Evidence from an Empirical Analysis" by Martin Gustafsson (2018).
In this article, Gustafsson examines the impact of privatized education on educational inequality in South Africa. He utilizes data from the National Income Dynamics Study to analyze the relationship between private schooling and educational outcomes.
Gustafsson finds that there is a clear disparity in educational opportunities between students in private schools and those in public schools. Students attending private schools have better educational outcomes, including higher test scores and higher rates of educational attainment. This indicates that privatization in the education system has contributed to widening educational disparities.
