Abstract	During the first five years of South Africa's first democratic government the Department of Education has restructured the administration of schooling at the highest levels and established a coherent progressive policy framework.... The new policy vision strikes a balance between developing excellence for competing in the global society, on the one hand, and expanding real educational opportunity, on the other one.... The devolution of responsibility to provinces and schools and high-skill curriculum goals are directed towards promoting excellence, while the drive to equity is promoted by compensatory funding formulas, affirmative staffing practices, and multi-cultural language policies and curriculum processes. Progress towards both kinds of educational goals has to date been severely constrained by institutional malfunction in all parts of the system. Improving systemic efficency will undoubtedly be a ma jor objective during the second term of the new government. (DIPF/orig.).
