Opening the Doors of Learning: Changing Schools in South Africa<br />
ISBN: 9780796225085<br />
Author: Pam Christie<br />
Copyright: 2010<br />
Extent: 240pp<br />
Format: Soft cover<br />
Description<br />
This book is set to become one of the<br />
classic texts in post-democratic South<br />
African thinking in education. Pam<br />
Christie is often quoted in popular<br />
and academic writing on education.<br />
Here she takes a critical look at the<br />
processes and levels of change within<br />
the schooling system. It addresses the<br />
puzzle of educational change from a<br />
South African perspective, and is not a<br />
book about the education system, but<br />
a book written for educators trying to<br />
understand the forces of change in the<br />
South African context.<br />

3: Goals and purposes of schooling<br />
4: Globalisation, the ‘knowledge<br />
economy’ and education<br />
5: Development and education<br />
6: Education policy<br />
7: Schools and classrooms as places<br />
of learning<br />

of ethics<br />

Description<br />
In this illuminating work, Brahm<br />
Fleisch draws on his acumen as<br />
historian and scholar of education,<br />
as well as his first-hand experience<br />
as bureaucrat, to weave a textured<br />
account of educational restructuring<br />
in South Africa after apartheid. Policy<br />
development and implementation<br />
come alive through Fleisch’s Africa<br />
after apartheid. Policy development and<br />
implementation come alive through<br />
Fleisch’s insights and reflections, as do<br />
the daily dilemmas and demands of<br />
running an education department and<br />
its schools.<br />
