Mandela recalls that the chief and his family treated him like one of their own, and he came to consider their elder son Justice one of his best friends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nelson Mandela\u2019s educational background tells us something about the culture he lived in. As the adopted son of a clan chief living in a relatively large city, Mandela was able to get an excellent education for a Black South African of the time, eventually attending university. However, upon learning that Dalindyebo had arranged an unwanted marriage for him, Mandela left university without finishing his degree and fled to Johannesburg.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Arranged marriages are still common today. Some arranged marriages are consensual for both parties\u2014for instance, some Indians living in the US and abroad <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vice.com\/en\/article\/5dpp93\/indian-matchmakers-arranged-marriage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">hire matchmakers<\/a> to assist them in finding a life partner who consents to the marriage. However, arranged marriages are considered oppressive, <em>forced<\/em> marriages <a href=\"https:\/\/www.api-gbv.org\/about-gbv\/types-of-gbv\/forced-marriage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">when one or both parties refuse to provide consent<\/a>. For instance, forced marriages occur in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.right-to-education.org\/blog\/forced-marriage-brutal-barrier-child-s-education\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the United Kingdom<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.api-gbv.org\/about-gbv\/types-of-gbv\/forced-marriage\/#:~:text=Forced%20Early%20Marriage%20in%20the,being%20threatened%20with%20forced%20marriage.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the US<\/a>. Forced marriages can have devastating effects, especially for young girls; they\u2019re often denied the chance at an education and forced to give birth while still very young, and are thereby trapped for life in poverty and exploitation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this time, Mandela\u2019s real interest was in law. In 1942, he finally earned a Bachelor of Arts degree and shortly afterward enrolled as a law student. However, he explains, after devoting his life to politics, he neglected his studies and repeatedly failed his final year of law school. He didn\u2019t officially earn a law degree until 1988\u2014over 40 years later\u2014when he completed his LL.B. (bachelor of laws) degree by correspondence while he was imprisoned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: The term \u201ccollege dropout\u201d has connotations of incompetence and failure, but Mandela is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/50-super-successful-college-dropouts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">far from the only dropout<\/a> who\u2019s gone on to live a remarkable life. In fact, many incredibly successful people struggled and eventually dropped out of school\u2014the list includes world-class athletes like Tiger Woods, superstar performers like Brad Pitt, and some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/pictures\/50-super-successful-college-dropouts\/8\/#:~:text=said%20in%202016.-,Bill%20Gates,-DOUG%20WILSON\/CORBIS\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">richest people in the world<\/a>. Much like Mandela, these people found more urgent or more important goals to pursue than finishing college.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What was Nelson Mandela\u2019s educational background?
