The article is an analysis of the selective function of education in South Africa during the apartheid period (1948–1994). It contains considerations regarding racial segregation practices and the role of education in reconstructing social diversity in South African education. The analyzes are based on theoretical concepts of social closure. They refer to selection practices and discrimination phenomena present in the consecutive stages of the development of the education system in South Africa.References
