Background
Education should be a means to empower children and adults alike to become active participants in the transformation of their society. Learning should also focus on the values, attitudes and behaviors which enable individuals to learn to live together in a world characterized by diversity and pluralism. In 1960, UNESCO adopted to Convention against Discrimination in Education, which acknowledges the crucial role of education in ensuring equality of opportunity for members of all racial, national or ethnic groups.(anon 2015). The assumption of power by the African National Congress (ANC) in 1994 results in the political transformation of South Africans. These transformations encompassed all areas of society, including education. Transformation …show more content…

First, the creation of a single national department of education out of 19 racially, ethnically, and regionally divided “departments of education” was a very significant accomplishment in the early years. The creation of non-discriminatory school environments into which access was gained on the basis of criteria other than race or religion was also a very significant achievement of the new government. The creation of 50 Further Education and Training Colleges (FETs) out of 150, the incorporation of colleges of education into universities, and the merging of technikons and universities in various combinations. The delivery of certain basics services, such as the supply of electricity, water, toilets, computers, and telephones has clearly improved in the last nine years. (Anon 2009) Comparing current educational system in South Africa to banking education
I think that banking education oppressed the right of learners to use their own knowledge and undermines learner’s creativity, assumes that learners know nothing and the teacher knows everything. The current educational system of South Africa is totally different compare to the banking concept of education, because learners are able to use their own knowledge and everyone is and must be treated equally.

  • Pedagogy Of The Oppressed Chapter 2 Analysis

    314 Words  | 2 Pages

    In chapter 2, “Pedagogy of the Oppressed” by Paul Freire, he explains his view of the educational system. Freire argues that the educational system uses the wrong method of teaching, the “banking” method to teach students. He suggests a new method called “problem-posing.” He believes that this method is more effective for students and teachers. Banking education is based on teachers assuming that the students are passive and that they can take all control, determine what would be learned and just “fill” the students with facts.

    Africa Should Model Its Education Like Finland And Canada Education is the systematic process of improving learning, knowledge, skill and understanding about anything at school, colleges, universities and other educational institutes which gives people an enlightening experience. African education is very poor and they should model it like Finland and Canada. In order to better understand African education and how it can be modeled like Finland and Canada, one needs to know about their problems such as financial issues, shortage of universities, shortages of teachers and lack of learning equipment such as ICT (Information Communication Technology). Through my experience as an African, many people do not get education due to money issues.

    It is hard to believe that at some point in our country's history, education was limited to those not of African descent. Individuals in lower-income, African families struggled to gain access to education for their children, causing controversy to be created within school systems. The Chicago Board of Education in the 1960s and Brown v. The Board of Education were both vast examples of this as families finally brought to light this issue. These, along with several other disagreements within African American communities and schools, show how racist our country was, specifically in school systems, before the Civil Rights Movement.

Additionally, an institution’s objectives can be illustrated across the landscape of education, producing effective workers. Those are the individuals whom struggle to establish the value of a nation, those are the ones whom go against their own interests. In kind, Kozol would expose, “Among the missions of the school, according to the printed statement, which was posted also in some other classrooms of the school, was “to develop productive citizens” who have the skills that will be needed “for successful global competition” (230).

  • Paulo Freire's The Banking Concept Of Education

    1645 Words  | 7 Pages

    In Paulo Freire’s essay The “Banking” Concept of Education, Freire highlights two differing forms of education: “banking” and “problem posing”. The banking concept is one in which the students are simply being “filled” by the teachers’ transferal of information, rather than actually learning material (Freire 216). This type of education resists dialogue and suggests that the students are simply objects in a passive setting that they have essentially accepted. Often this causes certain facts to be concealed and a lack of true critical thinking, especially about reality. On the opposite side of the spectrum, problem posing encourages communication.

    My experience in Change Management is very limited. The theoretical knowledge I have acquired during the first four weeks of this module has made me realize that transforming organizations is a difficult and complex task. I have read case studies mentioning the unique contribution of change leaders whose role is to talk to people’s hearts and minds. I have also understood how important is to reconcile conflicting interests and emergent tensions between top-down transformation initiatives and functional operations. Despite the widespread belief that managing change is tough, there is little agreement regarding the factors which influence change the most.

    The manner in which manner is received plays a crucial role in the life of everyone but as much as that is important to the human existence, the manner in which education is given is just as vital. Amy Gutmann “proposes a democratic state of education that requires parents and states to cede some professional authority to professional educators. Meaning the good of children includes not just individual freedom of choice, but also identification with and participation in the good of their family and the politics of their society” (Divala & Mathebula, 2016, p. 275). The below will discuss Amy Gutmann’s theory of democratic education briefly, the South African education system and the extent to which it resonates with Gutmann’s theory and four aspects of the current education system that can be improved to enhance democracy in education system.
