New Schools in South Africa Serve the "Underserved"

The New York Times article, " New Schools in South Africa serve the Underserved" tells about how in South Africa, education for richer mostly white schools was sponsored for years, but fees became a problem for people with less money. South Africa is just now starting to serve blacks with quality private schools. This could be a  very important step for schooling in South Africa. Just imagine if the whole entire world was able to take a small step like this, it could greatly educate and inform people about our worlds problems. This might sound like an overstatement, but if other poor impoverished countries just took steps to have a decent education, it could greatly effect the future. Right now, there are only 500 students in these schools, but I hope to see this idea spark into a whole reform of schooling in South Africa for black or poorer families.
