South Africa: Immigrants’ Kids Kicked Out of Schools

South Africa has begun forcing children of undocumented immigrants to leave public schools. The process, tied to the country’s repatriation efforts, is disrupting the education of hundreds of young students. Officials say the children must leave because their parents cannot prove legal residency. The move follows stricter enforcement of immigration laws, though critics argue it violates the right to basic education for all children in the country. Affected families face limited options as the government prioritizes deportation over schooling.
