This study entails a critical investigation into the issue and trends that shaped Black perspectives on education in South Africa in the period between 1652 and 1993. A theoretical-philosophical exposition is presented to establish the fundamental characteristics of education and therefore characteristics valid for every human being under any circumstances at any time. These characteristics were used to eventually appraise the issues and trends underlying the shaping of Black perspectives on...

In this paper we trace the development of policy and legislation since 1994, which marked the introduction of a unitary non-racial system of education and training in South Africa. Policy development in this context has been guided by the universal principles of a human right to basic education, equality and the recognition of the democratic rights of parents, teachers and all learners, including those with disabilities. A major paradigm shift in education policy has reflected a move from a...

The association between rainfall over the Sahel and Sudan region and tropical storm activity in the Atlantic is examined using the NCEP–NCAR reanalysis and sea surface temperature anomalies (SSTAs) from 1949 to 1998. Evidence indicates that both are influenced by global SSTAs. The SSTA modes generating favorable atmospheric conditions for tropical storms to develop are also in favor of a wet rainfall season in the Sahel and Sudan region. The easterly waves over West Africa become tropical...

The South African education system historically has used corporal punishment to maintain discipline. Criticism of its effects led, in 1996, to the banning of this form of punishment. But this legislative intervention did not end the use of corporal punishment in schools. This article offers an explanation for the ongoing use of corporal punishment. It is based on a survey of 16 Durban schools in September and October 1998. Corporal punishment has effectively disappeared from middle-class,...

The main purpose of this study was to investigate the nature and magnitude of reported cases of teacher perpetrated child sexual abuse of rural primary school pupils in Zimbabwe. The study also determined the distribution of reported cases of child sexual abuse according to the characteristics of victims and perpetrators.This is a retrospective case series study of reported cases of child sexual abuse drawn from six randomly selected educational jurisdictions. The study covered an 8-year...

The felsic volcanics (rhyolites and rhyodacites) of the St. Mary’s Islands (SMI), southern India (∼13°N), were originally interpreted as a distant outlier of the ∼65 Ma Deccan volcanic province of west–central India, comprising dominantly flood basalts. Later the SMI volcanics were dated at ∼93 Ma by the K–Ar technique. However, this K–Ar ‘age’ was dubious, being merely an average of five out of six widely varying dates and arbitrary data selectivity being involved in this averaging. Our...

The overall goal for this proposed project is to conduct a pilot stud)> of a theory, school and community-based, HIV prevention programme for in and out of school adolescents and youths in Harare. The intervention will use a Reducing the Risk approach as well as incorporate a peer diffusion model into school interventions. It is expected that the proposed project will positively impact on adolescents and teenagers at risk for contracting HIV in Zimbabwe and will produce benefits that...

The predominant objective of any education systemis one of providing quality education for all learners in order to enable them to realise their full potential, thereby enabling them to contribute to and participate in society. During the last two decades international policy development has turned the focus on providing quality education for all learners within the mainstreamof education, thereby removing the stigma and stereotyping of learners with barriers to learning. South Africa has...
