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

4: Globalisation, the ‘knowledge
economy’ and education

of learning
