  • Report on the State of the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in South African Universities
    REPORT ON THE STATE OF THE ARTS, HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCES IN SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES Prepared for the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Ahmed Essop December 2015 1 1. Introduction This report on the trends in, and the size and shape of, the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (AHSS) at South African universities between 2000 and 2013, which was commissioned by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation (AWMF), has the purpose of informing the Mellon Foundation’s “policy and practice on grant making” in AHSS at South African universities in line with the Foundation’s new Strategic Plan, which calls for “a bold and creative approach to grant making, responsive to promising new organisations as well as to established institutions” and which seeks “a larger family of grantees to underscore the potential contribution of the humanities and arts to social mobility”. The report is based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis, including unstructured interviews with selected academic and institutional actors in AHSS. Furthermore, in line with the Mellon Foundation’s focus, which does not include professional fields in the humanities and social sciences, the analysis focuses on the arts and non-professional humanities and social sciences (ANPH), as outlined in Appendix Two. 3. Part One: Size and Shape of AHSS in South African Universities 3.1 Background The role and status of AHSS has been the subject of public debate in the recent past as a result of two studies – the Academy of Science of South Africa’s (ASSAf) Consensus Study on the State of the Humanities in South Africa (ASSAf, 2011) and the Charter for the Humanities and Social Sciences (DHET, 2011) commissioned by the Minister of Higher Education and Training.

  • The Higher Education Landscape Under Apartheid
    CHAPTER 2 IAN BUNTING THE HIGHER EDUCATION LANDSCAPE UNDER APARTHEID This chapter lays out the South African higher education landscape as it was shaped by the apartheid policies of the National Party government prior to 1994. It describes how the disenfranchisement of the African majority culminated in the establishment of five separate legislative and geographic entities (the Republic of South Africa and four ‘independent republics’) and traces the process by which this policy led to the establishment of 36 higher education institutions controlled by eight different government departments. The chapter also describes the apartheid thinking which led to the differentiation of higher education in South Africa into two distinct types – universities and technikons – and shows how sharp racial divisions, as well as language and culture, skewed the profiles of the institutions in each category. 1. POLICIES OF THE APARTHEID GOVERNMENT 1.1. Racial divisions in South Africa At the beginning of 1994, South Africa’s higher education system was fragmented and unco-ordinated. This was primarily the result of the white apartheid government’s conception of race and the politics of race, which had shaped the higher education policy framework that it laid down during the 1980s. The apartheid government, under the influence of the ruling National Party, had, by the beginning of the 1980s, divided South Africa into five entities: · The Republic of Transkei (formed from part of the old Cape Province). · The Republic of Bophuthatswana (formed from part of the old Transvaal Province). · The Republic of Venda (also formed from part of the old Transvaal Province). · The Republic of Ciskei (formed from another part of the old Cape Province).

Mershon Department of Politics University of Virginia Charlottesville, VA, USA e-mail: [email protected] K. Miner-Romanoff Academic Affairs Franklin University Columbus, Ohio, USA e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT How do researchers and administrators in higher education plan and carry out writing retreats for academic staff? This paper presents a distinctive approach to developing creative writing retreats for academic staff in higher education. We distill lessons from our June 2016 writing retreat, which drew participants from the University of Venda and the University of Limpopo. Responding to the South African Journal of Higher Education’s invitation to ‘re-imagine’ writing retreats, we specify the shortcomings of linear writing retreats and discuss how to enhance collaboration, participation, and leadership capacity in planning and carrying out writing retreats. We also focus on an oft- neglected yet crucial feature of retreats, follow-up. As we show, our approach offers general insights for creative designing and implementing writing retreats.

  • 1 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTORY ORIENTATION and STATEMENT of the PROBLEM 1.1 Introduction in Every Society, Large Numbers of Students S
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTORY ORIENTATION AND STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM 1.1 Introduction In every society, large numbers of students start university education with higher, medium or lower scores obtained at Grade twelve level. After several semesters at university, one will find that some students are successful, others are unsuccessful while a certain number of them drop out. What makes a student succeed or fail at university or college? This is a question of great concern to many prospective students who arrive at university unprepared for a higher level of academic activity. It is also a concern for those parents who are responsible for paying tuition, boarding fees and other expenses. Recent tertiary education trends indicate that there is a high influx of students to former “white” institutions in the Republic of South Africa, leaving former black institutions struggling for survival because of low student numbers. The pass rates at some of these institutions have not been good for the past few years because of various factors. It is of critical importance that some of the factors that influence academic achievement be investigated. The University of Venda is one of the institutions which are in historically disadvantaged environments, offering educational opportunities to the largely rural population, deprived of chances to attend institutions of higher learning mainly due to poverty and policies of the past. 1.2 History and background of the University of Venda (UNIVEN) At the beginning of 1979, three officials of the Department of Education in the former Venda homeland visited the University Branch of the Department of Education and Training, the Transvaal Technikon (Pretoria), the University Branch of the Department of National Education and the University of South Africa.
