Like Kevin Carter’s photograph of the starving Sudanese child stalked by a patient 1 vulture in the background, last week’s photograph of a student, a brick and a car was ~~ from a photographic point of view — brilliant. The student seemed to swivel on one leg as he let rip with a brick that slammed into the window of a car trying to enter a Cape Town university campus. 5 2. Like Carter, the photographer is likely to have many sleepless nights when the full horror of that picture eventually sinks in. What kind of corrupt human being would throw a brick at fellow learners given the possibility of serious brain injury, even death? How can ( H someone with this capacity for random violence be considered for a place in higher education? How did it come to this? 10 3 [tis atough week to ask such questions on personal responsibility and behaviour of students in light of the public meltdown in parliament. Did this student take his cue from his seniors in government — that public violence, trash talk and confrontation are acceptable, and the new normal within state and society? 4 | did not see any public condemnation of this violent act from the same people who 15 would have thrown a fit at the slightest hint of racism. Imagine what an outcry would have followed if the two students with head wounds, wiping blood from their faces, had been black and the assailant white. 5 Then, the separate but difficult issue. The violent black student is clearly frustrated and you have to be deaf not to recognise the pain and danger in the protester’s question: ‘Why ( ‘ must they learn while we struggle?’It is a fair question that strikes at the heart of our social justice commitments. The question, though, is more complex. Government financial aid to poor students stands at record levels. Valiant efforts by Johannesburg students to raise R1- million must be applauded but it is a drop in the ocean and not sustainable. 6 With every year that passes, more and more students qualify for higher education but will not have the funds to study. Once again campuses will be trashed, classes interrupted and teaching time lost. In the meantime we have a problem with the response of citizens to injustice. Whether it is the quarrels in parliament or the brick throwing outside those chambers, both events reflect the failure of education. .. Question One continued on page 3

7 Education, after all, is not the achievement of paper qualifications. It is the acquisition of Downloaded from hlayiso.com a set of values that elevates minds over muscles. It is a commitment that, in a democracy, violent means do not justify noble ends.
