Educational policy in a post-apartheid South Africa : an exploratory study of the needs of the Indian community

Recent events have brought about the realization that purposeful
advancement in South Africa depends on wide-ranging educational
reforms consistent with the demands of a complex multicultural
society. This necessitates the development of theoretically-sound
policies informed by, and grounded in, the specific historical
and cultural milieu in which it is to be conceived. Within this
context, a particular concern is that little is known about the
educational needs of the Indian community at this juncture. This
concern is also evinced by a multitude of interests within this
minority group.
Al though this investigation focuses on Indian responses to
dominant policy orientations, it conceptualizes the South African
education dynamics in its entirety and interrelatedness and not
as a conglomerate of isolated parts. In sum, this dissertation
endeavours to examine some critical concerns as it affects the
provision of education for people of Indian origin in a postapartheid
South Africa. / Educational Studies / M.Ed. (Comparative Education)
