Knowledge, Curriculum and Qualifications in South African Further Education

Focused on the current situation in South Africa—but equally applicable to those in developed and developing countries—this collection offers a refreshing analysis of economically-driven trends in educational reform and a number of alternative ways to modernize higher education and training programs without turning education into a commodity. The articles also seek to remind policymakers, researchers, and teachers that many students acquire knowledge for its own sake and are not merely focused on achieving qualifications.
