| Abstract: | The paper explores the reasons for racially specific differences in earnings of school-leavers. The results indicate that employers reward certification. In the case of all races, but especially Africans, the quality of the matric. pass was an important factor. Substantial earnings differentials persisted between Africans and the other races. This could reflect labour market discrimination or the fact that employers do not perceive the quality of the African matric to be on par with that of other races. The fact that African matriculants especially those with better quality passes do receive higher earnings raises important questions about educational policy. |
