Teacher Preparation in South Africa

South Africa''s transition to democracy has seen massive changes in the field of teacher education aimed at integrating its previously raced and gendered character. This book provides a comprehensive historical overview and relational understanding of the patterns of teacher preparation supporting South Africa''s unequal formal education system. It shows how emerging patterns, policies and pedagogies were deeply entangled with the country''s position within a broader international and colonial order as well as with dominant national political and economic social frameworks.
