This research is directed at the investigation of teacher education and the
professional status of the teacher in the Northern Province.
The literature study examined the essential characteristics of a profession
and these were rephrased as criteria to evaluate to what. extent education
. meets these criteria. Education is a profession although it does not fully
meet the criteria of such traditional professions as law and medicine.
A qualitative investigation was undertaken to determine how successfully
teacher education is realised in the Northern Province. It was revealed that
teacher education is not founded on a pedagogically justifiable theory. The
status of the teacher is low. To redress this situation, continuous research
and in-service education are recommended whereby the teachers' status and
the standard of teacher education may be enhanced Culture needs
recognition in the curricula that need to be changed to meet the demands of
a changing society. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Philosophy of Education)
