before the passage of the bantu education act, apartheid in education tended to be implemented in a haphazard and uneven manner. the purpose of the act was to consolidate bantu education, i.e. education of black people, so that discriminatory educational practices could be uniformly implemented across south africa. previously, black education was administered by provincial governments. with the creation of the department, the central national government assumed control of all black education in south africa. racial segregation in education became mandatory under the act.
