Abstract: A proper reform of the education system away from the legacy of apartheid will require “redress” of educational output, or cognitive outcomes; rather than a mere redistribution of the physical inputs into education. This paper explores some of the research and management prerequisites for such a “redress of excellence” to take place, and suggests that, ironically, such a redistribution may be fiscally less expensive, but managerially more difficult, than attempting redress through equalising physical inputs at the formerly white levels. A call is made for much more serious production and management studies of the education sector to develop a more solid analytical underpinning for such redress processes.
