ANNEXURE 5 Reflections on Higher Education Transformation
ثبت نشده
چکیده
At the time of transition to democratic rule in 1994, South Africa‟s centuries long, oppressive and divisive colonial and apartheid history left a higher education system deeply marked by its discriminatory and authoritarian legacies. This included, inter alia, a system structured along highly stratified racial, gender, class, cultural and spatial lines; skewed in its structural development; unequally financed; disarticulated from the most pressing economic and social needs of the majority; and internationally isolated and focused on the industrialised north with very few linkages with the developing world and the wider African continent. In short, the core logics of this system were almost diametrically opposed to the central tenets of the new Constitution (1997) that sought to create a non-racial, non-sexist, more equal and socially just social and economic order for South Africa.
