Internasionale agentskappe fokus die afgelope twee dekades op "onderwys vir almal". Op 'n vasteland waar "onderwys vir almal" tot nog toe onhaalbaar was, het Suid-Afrika die grootse doel gestel om dit teen die internasionale keerdatum, 2015, te bereik. "Onderwys vir almal" behels die voorsiening van onderwys aan almal in die regte ouderdomsgroep, wat dan ook voldoen aan elke mens se universele reg op onderwys. Die uitdaging was om tegelykertyd die gehalte van onderwys in alle skole regoor Suid-Afrika vol te hou en te verbeter. Na dekades van ontneming in talle kontekste is dit belangrik om nie net te praat en te dink oor die haalbaarheid van gehalte-onderwys vir almal nie, maar ook oor die prys wat betaal sal word as dit nie gebeur nie. Prof Howie is vir die afgelope twee dekades betrokke by die monitering van die kwaliteit van onderrig in Suid-Afrika en in die res van die wêreld. Sy sal die jongste inligting voorhou oor die status van Suid-Afrika se onderrigvoorsiening vir almal asook die land se prestasie met betrekking tot die jongste kwaliteit-in-onderrig-aanwysers. Sy sal ook haar siening deel van Suid-Afrika se uitdagings rakende gehalteonderrig en enkele aanbevelings doen vir die moontlike bestuur daarvan.THUTO YA KHAWALITHI YA BOHLE - MAITAPISO A AFRIKA BORWA PHEGELELONG YA "SEPHEGELELWA"? ka Profesa Sarah Howie "Thuto ya bohle" e bile sedi ye kgolo go mekgatlo ya boditshabatshaba mengwagasome ye mebedi ya go feta.

"Education for all" has been the focus of international agencies for the past two decades. On a continent where "education for all" has been unattainable to date, South Africa has set itself the ambitious goal of attaining this by the internationally stipulated deadline of 2015. "Education for all" involves providing education to everyone of appropriate age, thereby satisfying everyone's universal right to access education. The challenge has been to simultaneously maintain and enhance the quality of education in all schools across South Africa. After decades of deprivation in many contexts, it is important to not only discuss and reflect on how achievable quality education for all is, but also, what the cost is of not doing so. Prof Howie has been involved in monitoring the quality of education in South Africa and internationally over the past two decades. She will present the latest information about the status of South Africa's provisioning for education for all, as well as its performance relative to the latest quality in education indicators. She will also give her perspectives on the challenges that South Africa faces regarding the quality of education and make some recommendations on how these could be managed

    The 'true use of reading' : Sarah Fielding and mid eighteenth-century literary strategies.

    No full text
    PhDThe aim of this thesis is to explore, by examining her life and works, how Sarah Fielding (1710-68) established her identity as an author. The definition of her role involves her notions of the functions of writing and reading. Sarah Fielding attempts to invite readers to form a sense of ties by tacit understanding of her messages. As she believes that a work of literature is produced through collaboration between the writer and the reader, it is an important task in her view to show her attentiveness toward reading practice. In her consideration of reading, she has two distinct, even opposite views of her audience: on the one hand a familiar and limited circle of readers with shared moral and cultural values and on the other potential readers among the unknown mass of people. The dual targets direct her to devise various strategies. She tries to appeal to those who can endorse and appreciate her moral values as well as her learning. Her writings and letters testify that she is sensitive to the demands of the literary market, trying to lead the taste of readers by inventing new forms. The thesis opens with an overview of Sarah Fielding's career, followed by a consideration of her critical attention to the roles of reading. I go on to examine the narrative structures and strategies she deploys, with a particular emphasis on her use of the epistolary method. The following chapter deals with her attention to the reading of the moral message tangibly embodied in her educational writing. It is followed by an analysis of the activity which earned her a reputation as a learned woman. Various as the forms of her works are, they invariably reflect her attempt to balance herself between the two demands of inventiveness and familiarity
