Figure 1.--We have no information about this school portrait. We believe that it was probably taken in the 1970s. Many South African schools had khaki uniforms. It looks like it may be a South African school, but this is only a guess at this time. A reader tells us that this is a school in Kenya.

We do not yet have much information on individual South African schools. Hopefully our South African readers will provide us some information on their schools. We will archieve information on individual schools here as we acquite it. We have some images, but at this time little information about the schools to go with them. We have no informatiin about this school portrait. We believe that it was probably taken in the 1970s. Many South African schools had khaki uniforms. It looks like it may be a South African school, but this is only a guess at this time. Given the photograph was taken in front of the school's main building should make this school fairly easy to identify.

Fairway Primary School (Johannesburg)

Here is a very encouraging image from the new South Africa. It was taken on the sports field at the Fairway Primary School, at unban primary in Johannesburg. It shows two friends, a black anf white boy. This short of relationship was unimaginable during apartheid time.

Goudkop Primary School

A reader has provided us some images from the Goudkop Primary School, apparently from the 1960s. Unfortunately, we know nothing about the school. Apparently Goudkop is a town in South Africa. This we would assume it is a town in a rural area of South Africa. The building in the background suggests it was a substantial school. The boys wear a simple uniform of open necked grey shirts and matching short pants. The girls wear dresses. Moist of the boys and girls go barefoot.

Unidentified Rural Primary School

This is a group of students typical South African rural primary school. This seems an unusually small school. Note that all of the children are wearing uniforms. I'm unsure why all the younger children are boys. We do not know the name of the school, but believe the photograph was taken about 2006. Note how well uniformed the children are, even though this is a rural school.
