Multikulturele onderwys vir Suid-Afrika: utopiese ideaal of logiese realiteit?

Abstract

Multicultural education for South Africa: utopian ideal or logical reality?

In a new South African dispensation the reconstruction of the global education system necessitates fundamental change to existing educational policies and practices. An educational approach which enjoys increasing attention and consideration today, is multicultural education. South Africa as a multicultural society needs an educational system that recognises and accommodates the value of ethnic and cultural diversity. Meaningful education takes sociocultural realities into consideration in preparing the youth for a multicultural society o f tomorrow. Multicultural education therefore seems to be a logical reality in empowering all children towards adequate and constructive adulthood.
