Degree of Master of Education, DCCCl11bcl' 1995. / This thesis concerns itself with resistance during tho decade of tho 80s. Much of the literature has
focussed on student resistance. There has in general been very little that has examined resistance
of student teachers, Student teachers are-vital change agents in education for the futuro. If there
is to be any Intervention in teacher training colleges, then there needs to be an understanding of
historical power relations and the f0n11S of'resistance in these institutions. The aim of the research
report is to dccumer.t and explain why and how student teachers at the Mokopane College of
Education become politically militant during the decade of the 80s. The contention is tha: under
extremely repressive and authoritarian conditions such as those faced by student teachers in
homeland lnstitutloue, resistance can take many forms. However, as the study concludes. it
became general and militant in this instance, only when it was able to break out of its isolation and
establish links with wider politlce! structures, This study is based on primary sources, interviews
and secondary sources. It has engaged archival sources as well as important interviews from both
activists and teachers who have taught under both Missionary and Bantu Education.
