Bantu Education Act of 1953 was a South African law which codified several aspects of the apartheid system. Its major provision was enforced separation of races in all educational institutions. Even universities were made 'tribal', and many mission schools had to close. No science or mathematics was taught under Bantu education, emphasis was placed on agriculture as the Apartheid government wanted black people to be uneducated farmers, not scientists or mathematicians.
