South Africa Post 1994 : Quo Vadis Workers' Education?

Dr. Fakier Jessa

Abstract

The book delves deep into the neglect of the epistemological factors impacting on working class consciousness, their political astuteness and social progress in the Republic of South Africa (RSA), post 1994. The most glaring omissions in the RSA today, is the inferior general education of the working class, the absence of worker education programmes and civic education. Alas, the shift from apartheid to democratic rule has been characterised by financialisation, malfeasance at government level, the rise of the ‘new’ middle class and the prevailing neglect of addressing working class demands. The book calls for efficacy and rationale in the making of an astute, educated and conscientised working class, organisationally independent from the ruling party and its alliance.
