Ideological and educational logistics in determining success of contemporary state educational policy, implemented in Republic of South Africa (RSA)

We pay attention to the study of educational system development of the Republic of South Africa (RSA) during the apartheid regime and after its fall. According to peculiarities inherent in RSA at the present stage of state formation, we identify education as a fundamental element in strengthening RSA positions in the international arena. We note the high activity of the current government in solving the educational issues faced by RSA citizens after the fall of the apartheid regime. We considered the legal basis for the formation of a modern educational vector system which implements in RSA. We also consider state educational policy of RSA in comparatively-international aspect with the use of our calculation tools based on ideological educational logistics. The novelty of the research work is that we conducted a study to determine the level of educational potential of RSA in the international aspect by using qualimetric model, which is based on ideological educational logistics. We examine the historical and legislative bases which reveal the essence of the current state policy in the education and science fields of the RSA. We consider the features of democratic elements, required for the formation of unified national educational trajectory regardless of gender and race. We reveal the democratic approaches in the education system. Democratic values embedded in the educational system allowed all citizens to receive affordable qualitative education. The results of research activities can be used in the works of pedagogical, foreign policy and comparative prognostic activities, as well as in works that require determining the success of the state educational policy in the international aspect.
