  • 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.

  • ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study Among Selected Historically Black Universities (Hbus)
    Mar. 2006, Volume 3, No.3 (Serial No.16) US-China Education Review, ISSN1548-6613,USA Bridging the Digital Divide and the Use of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in South African Universities: a Comparison Study among Selected Historically Black Universities (HBUs) and Historically White Universities (HWUs) Osunkunle, Oluyinka Oludolapo* University of Limpopo, South Africa Abstract: It has become common place for students in historically white universities (HWUs) in South Africa to have 24 hour access to computers, the Internet, e-learning facilities, check results online and even register online. However, historically black universities (HBUs) are still battling to have access to these facilities. On a macro level, the issue of lack of access to basic ICT facilities or digital divide exists. This is evident in the fact that developed nations like U.S.A and Switzerland have significant access to ICT, while under-developed nations in Africa like Ethiopia and Congo do not enjoy considerable access. On a micro level in South Africa, digital divide still exists. Even the divide exists among South African Universities as students in historically white institutions like Pretoria, Rhodes and Stellenbosch Universities enjoy unlimited access to ICT facilities like computers and the Internet. However, the reverse is the case in HBUs where access rate is very limited and personal observation bears this out as most historically black institutions like the University of Fort Hare, University of Limpopo, and University of Zululand, just to mention a few are still battling with the issue of access to ICT facilities. This paper presents the findings of a survey conducted to examine the present ICT status / capacity of HBUs compared to what exists in HWUs in South Africa.

  • Introduction Reckoning with Apartheid the Conundrum of Working Through the Past
    Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East APARTHEID RECKONING Introduction Reckoning with Apartheid The Conundrum of Working through the Past Anne- Maria B. Makhulu his themed section of Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East, titled “Reckon- ing with Apartheid: The Conundrum of Working through the Past,” comes at a very particular T moment in South Africa’s “long walk to freedom.”1 Only recently, South Africans celebrated two decades of democracy. This was an enormous achievement, following almost four hundred years of colo- nial rule that reshaped everything from understandings of land ownership to national sovereignty, race, and the very definition of what it means to be human. Yet South Africa’s transition to democracy appears increasingly marked by significant failure — and by this I mean a failure to fully transcend history — even as some are willing to claim that the past is indeed the past. Or, as Sarah Nuttall has proposed, that the value of symptomatic reading has been eclipsed by a newer focus on “surfaces” and “edges.”2 That the past, certainly in the interpretive practice of reading that Nuttall proposes, might be superseded by a certain flatness of historical dimension has significant implications for the meaning of the “post” in “postapartheid.” For Nuttall the symptomatic reading is assumed to be Freudian or Marxian. Here, I am less concerned with the psychoanalytic dimension and more so with Marx’s historicism. True, the “sur- faces” of contemporary South African life are easily accessed. Yet their legibility, in the sense of how they might be interpreted — in other words, what they refer to — is often less evident.

    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.

  • Evaluating the South African Higher Education Government Funding Framework
    Evaluating the South African higher education government funding framework A Styger 13007734 Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Magister Commercii in Risk Management at the Potchefstroom Campus of the North-West University Supervisor: Prof Gary van Vuuren Co-supervisor: Dr André Heymans May 2014 Acknowledgements I thank God for the knowledge and opportunity He has given me to complete this dissertation. Without Him, this study would not have been possible. I would like to acknowledge everybody that contributed to this study and the completion thereof. In particular, I would like to thank the following people: • My supervisor, Prof Gary van Vuuren, for the guidance throughout the study. I am grateful for all the feedback, knowledge and support in every aspect of this dissertation, • My co-supervisor, Dr André Heymans, for his contribution, especially in the beginning of the study, • Prof Paul Styger, for the support and drive to start with the study, • Marlise, for the moral support in good and difficult times, • My parents and in-laws, for their continuous support throughout the study, • Friends and family for their continuous support. i Abstract South Africa is ranked 146 th out of a total of 148 countries by the World Economic Forum for its education system and last in science and mathematics, and yet the government spends up to a fifth of its budget on education. Only 40% of pupils who start schooling in grade 1 will pass matric (grade 12), with just 12% maintaining high enough marks to qualify for university entrance. Any research to boost learning in South Africa, at any level, should be welcomed.
