The Bantu Education Act further enforced apartheid within education. All universities were declared to be tribal. Almost all missionary schools were shut down. Little money went to Black or "Colored" schools or to teacher training—less than a tenth of what went to white schools. Yet education was not free, discouraging poorer families from sending their children to school.
The long-term effect was that white students got Western-style standards of education while nonwhites were openly prepared for few options beyond manual labor. Minister Hendrik Verwoerd openly said there was no point in teaching nonwhites math when they would never be allowed to use it.
The law made for harsher divisions between races. It became a central focus of discontent, which anti-apartheid activists rallied against.
