South Africa's transition to democracy has seen massive changes in
the field of teacher education aimed at integrating its previously
raced and gendered character. This book provides a comprehensive
historical overview and relational understanding of the patterns of
teacher preparation supporting South Africa's unequal formal
education system. It shows how emerging patterns, policies and
pedagogies were deeply entangled with the country's position within
a broader international and colonial order as well as with dominant
national political and economic social frameworks. Using rich
archival and oral evidence, this book illuminates how successive
policies restricted and enabled access to different institutions,
while differentiated curricula prepared teachers to teach students
intended to play different roles in a society marked by class, race
and gender division. It explores the location and control of
teacher provision for black and white teachers provided by mission
societies and the state in colleges and universities.
Post-apartheid governments sought to reverse entrenched racial
legacies in education through closure of the colleges and
incorporation of teacher preparation into universities, altered
admission criteria and new curricula. These have resulted in new
tensions which have arisen in relation to a world of competing
pressures on universities and teachers. By shedding new light on
these tensions from a historical perspective, this book will prove
an invaluable resource for education leaders and researchers in the
field of global and comparative education.
