Education in South Africa is in crisis. Low literacy and numeracy
rates, poor discipline, and a sense of despair pervade the
education landscape. At the same time, educators are called upon to
achieve more, with universities tasked to produce graduates capable
of exercising responsible and reflective citizenship in a
competitive and globalising world. However, universities face very
complex demands and resource constraints. In this sobering context,
this book provides an opportunity to learn from a bold experiment
in teaching and learning taking place across two very different
South African universities, one historically black, and one
historically white and Afrikaans. With a mixture of rigorous
scholarship, thoughtful self-reflection, and insights which have
relevance far beyond their own project, contributors to this
ground-breaking volume take the reader systematically through an
account of what is and is not possible in transforming higher
education in South Africa. The contributors demonstrate the
potential and limitations of imaginative innovations, and invite
the reader into an ongoing discussion about the future and
potential for higher education in South Africa and beyond.
