THE SOUTH AFRICAN EDUCATION SYSTEM
, Question 1
1. Pre-colonial education embraced the building of character, the development of
physical ability and the attainment of honourable virtues that are a fundamental
part of maturity. Pre-colonial education was oral in nature and was taught
through the peoples own languages. Through legends, children learned the
virtues of their community and appreciated the power and beauty of their own
languages before colonization took place.
2. The main aspects of socialization in pre-colonial societies are the values and
beliefs that were instilled in individuals, the rules that were used when
interacting with others and the gaining of cultural norms. The primary agents of
socialisation are family as they have an important role in shaping the child’s
behaviour. Children from a very young age were taught how to feel, think and act
in an “appropriate” manner, and to do what was told to them without any
questions.
3. Formal learning was taught through initiation rites and apprenticeship. It was
distinctly known as the “hierarchically controlled educational system”. Whereas
informal learning was taught through the elders and parents in the
society/village/tribe through a practice of socialization (interacting with others).
They acquire skills, knowledge and values from their everyday experiences and
learnt through folklore.
4. –Authority structures changed
- New social groups were created
- African chiefs and their kingdoms were defeated by white subjugation
- People’s views towards education changed as they saw that it was a way into a
more leading economic and social system.
- Black individuals were willing to comply into monetary labour
