The study offers a historico-educational investigation of
the extent to which the Teachers' Association of South
Africa (TASA) satisfied the educational aspirations of the
Indian coIIDllunity in South Africa.
The discussion begins with a theoretical exposition of
characteristic features of teachers' associations. It
considers the origin, nature and purpose of teachers'
associations. A brief survey of some teachers'
associations in the Republic of South Africa is also made.
The development and the organisation of the Teachers'
Association of South Africa (TASA) is highlighted. In this
regard special emphasis is placed on the role of the
Association's forerunners, and the nature and functioning
of the various organisational structures within the
Association.
An elaborate discussion is devoted to the achievements of
the Association in satisfying the educational aspirations
of the Indian coIIDllunity in South Africa. The researcher
also offers recoIIDllendations on the role that teachers'
associations may play in the future. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
