QUESTION 1
According to Higgs and Letseka (2022, p. 9), “Much of the history of Africa has been dominated
by colonial occupation. Colonialism in Africa provided the framework for the organised
subjugation of the cultural, scientific and economic life of many on the African continent.”
Explain, in what ways education in Africa became colonialised. In your response, provide an
evaluation of whether education is still colonised today. (10)
QUESTION 2
In a diverse and multicultural country such as South Africa, the interaction between an
Afrocentric and Eurocentric approach towards valid knowledge needs continual displacement
to ensure that neither obtains a dominant position.
Discuss the impact that the integration of knowledge systems in an Indigenous African
Knowledge Systems programme would have on the school curriculum in South Africa. (10)
QUESTION 3
In education, Empiricism insists that teaching and learning can only occur in those subjects
that provide humankind with ‘real knowledge’.
Discuss the implications for education in this argument. (10)
