ABSTRACT
The Three-Year Development Plan 1961-1964 drawn up in 1960 as part of a national government programme emphasised the need to integrate the separate racial systems of education (African, Asian and European) and the expansion of secondary education. However, these plans were, to a considerable extent, the repetition and perpetuation of the earlier goals for African education as drawn up by the colonial government and the missionaries. The only ‘innovation’ was the attempt in the 1961–4 plan to integrate the racial systems of education into a single unified structure.
