Beskrivning
This title was first published in 2002: Has the South African post-apartheid state been able to achieve its stated goals? What has been the relationship between the process of educational reform and the impact on the state of the Constitution and other laws? This seminal book responds to these questions by examining the development and implementation of social policy in South Africa during the first years of democratic government, particularly in relation to education. The post-apartheid state was immediately faced with a broad spectrum of political, social, economic and human rights issues. The research analyzes whether the aims and objectives of the new administration were achieved; no other single collection of research in South Africa collectively explores the issues raised in this endeavour. The book will appeal to a wide range of professionals including researchers, academics, planners, policy makers, public servants and postgraduate students.

Recensioner i media

’Anyone interested in a critical perspective and alternative to dominant education policies in South Africa will be interested in this book. It shows how the fiscal austerity model driving education policy undermines the wider goals of social justice and equity and how more expansionist policies may provide an alternative. A book that is essential reading for education scholars and activists.’ Linda Chisholm, Professor of Education, University of Natal, Durban, South Africa
