What attitudes people had towards the Bantu education act?

The Bantu education act in South Africa legalized several aspects of the apartheid system, whereby people were segregated by color in education facilities, which saw less funding for black students in education, the Act was repealed in 1980 and segregation in educational facilities was made unconstitutional in 1996. The act was one of the most aggressive forms of apartheid's racist laws, by placing the ethnic education system under their own control, it ended up that most of the black education facilities were run by missionaries. It sparked widespread criticism and division.
