Abstract
Quite a few changes have occurred in South Africa since 2 February 1990 - even in the field o f education. The greatest changes in education, however, still lie ahead. Thus the present fifteen education departments will probably be replaced by one education system an d regional departments. A few important challenges for education include, inter alia, the financial situation, in which providing for the best possible education with the little money that is available, will have to be planned. In addition the rate o f population growth is very high. A new education structure will make greater demands in regard to a heterogeneous school population and multicultural education. Education standards will also have to be maintained as far as certification and the professional quality o f the teachers are concerned. In the meantime it remains important that education is still provided on the basis o f sound educational principles - this includes education through the medium o f the home language, the construction and maintenance o f the spirit and character o f the school, the continuation o f the culture o f the parental home in the school and the involvement and responsibility o f parents in the education. These aims will have to be promoted purposefully.Copyright information
