Recent Aid

Since 1961, World University Service has been providing educational opportunities to Africans in Rhodesia.

Help to Rhodesia came in that year in the form of scholarship aid to individual non-white students at the University College, Salisbury, to which students of all races are admitted.

The great bottleneck in the system of education for Africans is, however, at the upper secondary level: there are only two Government High Schools offering "A" level courses.

A programme of pre-university scholarships has been devised by the Rhodesian WUS Committee, in co operation with the University College, Salisbury which has established a one-year pre-university course for students, who have obtained GCE "O" level, to obtain GCE "A" level qualifications suitable for admission to the University College itself.

The "A" level course is very successful and already producing more university entrants than the two Government High Schools for Africans (which offer "A" level courses.)
