| dc.description.abstract | The relevance of historical research for an explanation of the roots of
contemporary educational policy and its relationship to notions of equity,
democracy and development has been sadly neglected in recent years.
This means that policy makers have forfeited the advantages of reflecting
on the traditions and experience of past endeavors and examining
them critically for potential understandings of present and future policy
making. The aim of this paper was to direct the attention of researchers
to the complexities and multifaceted nature of educational policy development
in inter-war era (1918–1945), with specific reference to British
colonial Africa and South Africa. It will also hopefully provide a set of
elementary tools for all of those interested in educational policy-making
strategies that seek to promote meaningful social, economic and political
change in an age of uncertainty. | en_US |
