One of the greatest challenges South Africa faces is rural poverty and education. This title graphically illustrates the conditions that make the dreams of a better life for all virtually unrealisable in rural areas. Through the voices of rural people themselves, we are told not only what the problems are but also what can and should be done. This title is a richly documented portrait of the lives of communities in selected rural areas, and specifically their thoughts and feelings about education. It is a title that can come at no better time as South Africa is poised to launch a major offensive against poverty in rural areas. Education, this title shows, must be a central component of such an initiative.
