    Curriculum Vitae Distinguished Professor Heila Lotz-Sisitka Updated July 2018 South African National Research Foundation Chair (Tier 1) Transformative Social Learning and Green Skills Learning Pathways Summary Narrative Overview and Early Career I started my career in primary education, working with young children to expand their learning horizons through creative, critical approaches to learning. This led me into a postgraduate and post-doctoral career trajectory where I was able to expand my interest in primary education to wider forms of education and learning, all of which have centred on how human relations with the environment shape learning and transformation of society towards social justice, sustainability and the common good. My Masters degree focused on critical, democratic and participatory approaches to working with environmental knowledge in learning support materials development with foundation phase teachers in post-apartheid curriculum settings. The project spanned five years, and grew into a national initiative to strengthen curriculum transformation. The study was unanimously recommended for upgrading to PhD by all examiners. This launched me into an active professional career in participation oriented approaches to environment and sustainability education research that has spanned all levels and types of education, including early learning, general education and training, higher education, community education, and conservation education. Most recently I have also become more involved in vocational and workplace learning as the green economy has emerged as a significant driver of potential just transitions in post-apartheid South Africa, and the skills system was found to be largely re-active to environment and sustainability concerns. My current research focusses on global change and social learning systems, with emphasis on transformative social learning and green skills learning pathways.

    Journal of International Education Research – Second Quarter 2013 Volume 9, Number 2 Restructuring And Mergers Of The South African Post-Apartheid Tertiary System (1994-2011): A Critical Analysis Nelda Mouton, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa G. P. Louw, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa G. L. Strydom, Ph.D., North-West University, South Africa ABSTRACT Socio-economic and vocational needs of communities, governments and individuals change over the years and these discourses served as a compass for restructuring of higher institutions in South Africa from 1994. Before 1994, the claim to legitimacy for government policies in higher education rested on meeting primarily the interests of the white minority. From 1996 onwards, the newly established government considered education a major vehicle of societal transformation. The main objective had been to focus on reducing inequality and fostering internationalisation. Therefore, the rationale for the restructuring of South African universities included a shift from science systems to global science networks. Various challenges are associated with restructuring and include access, diversity, equity and equality. Thus, the restructuring and mergers between former technikons and traditional universities were probably the most difficult to achieve in terms of establishing a common academic platform, as transitional conditions also had to be taken into account and had a twin logic: It was not only the legacy of apartheid that had to be overcome but the incorporation of South Africa into the globalised world was equally important as globalisation transforms the economic, political, social and environmental dimensions of countries and their place in the world. Initially, the post-apartheid higher education transformation started with the founding policy document on higher education, the Report of the National Commission on Higher Education and this report laid the foundation for the 1997 Education White Paper 3 on Higher Education in which a transformed higher education system is described.
