 | | The South African Higher Education sector is, in a number of ways, rather different from the American college and university world Virtually all the institutions of higher post-secondary education in South Africa are funded and regulated by the state. |
 | | Furthermore, with the exception of certain peculiarities during the era of apartheid, it is the national government, and not the governments of the several provinces, that fund and oversee higher education. |
 | | The Universities are quite similar to universities in the United States or elsewhere, and a visitor familiar, say, with Yale or Michigan State or Vanderbilt would feel pretty much at home on a South African university campus. |
