Bulungula College (BC) is a no-fee, independent high school located in the Xhora Mouth Administrative Area, Elliotdale, along the Wild Coast of the Eastern Cape, one of the poorest areas in the country. Before the opening of BC, the only option for learners who wanted to pursue a high school education was to leave their families, rent accommodation, and attend a high school far from the community. This proved difficult for learners, resulting in many dropping out, with approximately 95% of the learners from Xhora Mouth Administrative Area not ever completing Grade 12.
Established in 2019, Bulungula College was the first high school in the Eastern Cape’s Xhora Mouth Administrative Area to offer access to grades 10, 11 and 12 for local pupils. Just four years later, its second matric cohort achieved a 100% pass rate.
