After seeing that most Wikipedia student contributions are only 800 words, I have decided to fully dedicate my time to the new creation of one section only, hoping for 300 words on the COVID-19 pandemic. I think it will be better for me to limit my scope from my earlier plans of a full page re-haul by focusing on only a couple of topics. I am going to change the title of the "Possible causes of post-apartheid inequality" and the "unemployment" sections, rewrite the introduction with updated demographics (300 words), and rename/rework "the reconstruction and development programme" section to something more general on education (300 words). I think that is more than enough, but this page could use a lot of work in the future from other students. I also plan on adding blue links throughout the article and removing irrelevant sources as I work through the aforementioned sections.

Outline:

  1. Write a section about the COVID-19 pandemic and its effects
  2. Rewrite the introduction with updated demographics
  3. Rewrite the education section
