Abstract
The quintile system, which determines amounts of funding for individual schools, was implemented in post-apartheid South Africa as the government's commitment to redress and redistribution in the education sector. But is this an effective pro-poor mechanism? Amita Chutgar and Anil Kanjee investigated whether this system is ensuring funding allocation favours the poorest learners.-
