Summary/Abstract: This paper seeks to articulate the challenges being faced by the rural South African people pertaining to the aspect of ample access to quality education. The structures, policies and programs of the then apartheid era were compared and contrasted to the post-apartheid (1994) structures, policies and programmes. It argues that any impediment to the right to quality education is contrary to the spirit and purport of the provisions of the Bill of Rights enshrined in the South African Constitution of 1996 which guaranteed the right. Although there was a radical transition in educational policies and programmes from apartheid to post-apartheid, till date, there are still numerous challenges within the basic and higher educational sectors.
