There are no differences in the number of African American representative occupations (those in which 13.5% or more employees were African American) considered compared to nonrepresentative occupations (those with less than 5% African American employees). The results support the hypothesized relations among occupational self-efficacies, interests, and...

This paper focuses on the migration of teachers from South Africa to the UK using a qualitative, ethnographic approach. It argues that there are socio-cultural complexities in the transnational migration of SA teachers. It begins by identifying the reasons for teachers exiting the SA teaching fraternity to work in...

Currently, quality standards and controls for veterinary studies are not established in Ethiopia, and the country does not have any type of veterinary council or oversight body to...

Many, but not all, of the articles on the lives of European musicians who came to South Africa contain basic factual mistakes in Malan's South African Music Encyclopedia (SAME: 1979, 1982, 1984, 1986). These improvements on the facts about their studies were most probably effected in order to give them a better chance of obtaining a professional position. But Pierre and Angelique de Beer were really Dutch graduates from the Music Conservatorium of Amsterdam. Willem Gerke also emigrated to...
