Abstract
Racial discrimination in South Africa is a cause of much discontent Unrest in schools can be traced in part to unequal educational opportunity and facilities. An outline of the development of education and of school libraries in Natal and KwaZulu is given. There have been considerable differences in the provision of education and of school library facilities for the various population groups; at present, facilities for whites are good, for Indians adequate and for blacks totally inadequate It is suggested that there is a relationship between sophistication of labour and the inclusion in education of information-handling skills and self-study methods. Thus the school library achieves an economic importance not previously recognized in South Africa.
