Magister Educationis - MEd / Schools played an important role during apartheid in shaping the mindsets of learners. In
contemporary South Africa schools can now play a similar role in promoting democratic values
in order to build a more just, humane and democratic society in a democratic South Africa.
Through democratic citizenship, democratic schools can be created. Apple and Beane (1999,
p. 10) state that democratic schools are the result of specific attempts by educators to put
arrangements in place that will bring democracy to life. These arrangements and opportunities
involve the production of democratic structures and processes through which life in a school is
carried out and the creation of a curriculum that will allow young people the opportunity to
experience the nature of democracy.
