Abstract	University and pre-university education in South Africa is briefly described, along with areas where U.S. universities can assist South African organizations working to promote equal access to quality education. Three basic areas are explored: financial aid for South African students; manpower support to help in tutorials and academic research; and advanced and flexible training opportunities in the United States. Primary and secondary education is segregated and unequal. In addition to the practice of teaching blacks only those skills necessary to serve the white community, black school teachers are grossly underprepared, rooms are overcrowded, and books/supplies are often unavailable. While universities were originally developed to conform to the racial classification in the country, today universities are free to admit students on academic merit alone. Since many blacks cannot enroll at universities because they lack the modest fees required, there is a growing need for student financial aid. In addition, U.S. academics can work with South Africans to provide remedial instruction and assistance in academic research and educational development. Development of flexible programs in the United States conducted over a 3-month to 1-year period could be helpful to South African leaders. Ways for U.S. institutions to get involved are discussed.
