    During British colonial rule in the Cape Colony from 1807-1910 and Natal from 1843-1910, education systems were established but faced challenges. In the Cape Colony, the British inherited a poorly structured education system from the Dutch and sought to provide schooling for all children, regardless of poverty, though with limited resources. While education was meant to promote English and the Bible, schools had issues with quality and scarcity of resources that still exist today. In Natal, the first school for Indian children opened in 1867 through private donations, though parents often refused to send daughters to school and education was not compulsory.
