dc.description.abstractThis article uses statistical analysis to estimate the impact of educational interventions in the first and second-year microeconomics courses on black academic development students' examination and final course marks. The results suggest that the educational interventions in the first and second years had a positive impact on the academic performance of the academic development cohorts, relative to a comparable group of mainstream students, in both the first and second-year courses. The results imply that the impact of interventions is more pronounced in respect of black students, and that the determinants of academic performance differ for black students relative to the student body as a whole. Finally, the implications of the results for education policy and research are considered.en_ZA
