Spirit of the Nation - Reflections on South Africa's Educational Ethos (Paperback)

Spirit of the Nation reflects on and debates the values in South Africa's educational system. It examines the ethos and spirit of the living communities who inhabit our schools and who are struggling towards, and achieving, new forms of social cohesion.

Spirit of the Nation is divided into five parts. The first, Foundations, reflects on the nature and meaning of values that can be considered South African, and outlines the basic principles that should guide their nurturing and development. Part Two, The Way We Learn, comprises analyses of the media forms through which we learn and considers the efficacy of learning values by these various means. Part Three, What We Learn focuses on the content of education.

Part Four, Transforming Lives, considers how education can transform individual lives and futures and the final section, Looking Ahead, explores the future of South African education within the context of the Constitution.

This book is intended to nurture the spirit of the nation and to make a valuable and enduring contribution to the cornerstone of our new society: South African education.
