The dissertation is concerned with Christian religious
education as a school subject in Gazankulu. As such, the
research aims at establishing the nature, as well as the
problems experienced in Gazankulu secondary schools
concerning this subject.
The founding of Swiss Mission stations among the Tsonga/
Shangaan people since 1873, went hand in hand with the
founding and maintenance of schools for almost 82 years - a
period in which Religious Education was overemphasised.
Certain aspects of the Welsh Commission Report of 1935-1936
as well as of the Eiselen Commission Report of 1949-1951
revealing the position of Religious Education, and the
subsequent introduction of the so-called Bantu Education
with its negative effects on Religious Education, are
examined.
Problems experienced in Gazankulu secondary schools have,
therefore, been exposed and their influence on pupils have
been assessed. A few practical solutions in the form of
recommendations concludes this study / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
