One example is that in one year the apartheid government spent 17 times more on the education of white children than it did on the education of black children. The deliberate limiting of human flourishing has had devastating effects, exacerbated inequality and social instability, as well as impacted the relationships between different ethnic groups. 

The ethos of Jubilee’s Education Restitution Initiative is to show compassion but also to demonstrate justice by making restitution. Restitution implies something should be done to restore that which has been lost. As a church, we have a great opportunity to serve those in the pastoral care of our community by supporting their educational journeys.
