Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga will on Thursday release a ministerial task team report into the possibility of introducing history as a compulsory subject from grades 10 to matric.
In 2015, the department held an inaugural round table where the task team lead by Professor Sibusiso Ndlovu was established.
The ministerial task team was given terms of reference to conduct a comparative international study on how best to implement the introduction of history as a compulsory subject at South African schools in grades 10, 11 and 12.
Now the team will report back after completing comparative studies and research in countries including Russia, China, Zimbabwe and Rwanda.
The Basic Education Department’s Elijah Mhlanga says: “And making sure that our history books reflect correctly a true story of South Africa.”
Motshekga says she believes teaching history has a number of positive effects especially in a country like South Africa, such as contributing to nation building, social cohesion and cultural heritage.
“Yes, education is not as important as everyone thinks. Africans have survived thousands of years without it. It is not for Africans, it came with the whites,” However, our people might need to know about the history of South Africa and the world.” Minister of basic education Angie Motshekga told journalists on Thursday.
Education is a “white thing”? ROTFL! Well, okay.
S.A. - pigheadedly strutting out into the middle of the busy freeway, because that's what Africans do.
Africa is a cargo cult.
Good idea. Keeps everyone stupid so you can give them the shaft year after year. You are an evil piece of trash.
That is a very natural conclusion. These people are resentful that another, more successful, more evolved civilization swept over theirs, even though the end result is that of improvement all around.
In fact, it is the "improvement all around" that White civilization brings that REALLY sticks in their collective craw.
Those who reject "White" culture/education/science/medicine etc. are motivated by childish envy and resentment.
It is understandable.
It is similar to the way children react to instructions by adults who are wiser and more experienced.
What is interesting is that this is the same way the Left reacts to Conservatives. Liberals, like these Africans, prefer to do it their own childish way, even though anyone with an ounce of maturity can see it will lead to trouble.
Yes. Understandable...but, in the end, unprofitable.
Someone needs to advise them to look back to their old ways and find some nuggets of wisdom (few though they may be). And then blend them with all the good things brought by White civilization. That is the only rational solution.
😀
“Wakanda forever”
“Boko Haram” ... “education bad”
I know the year isn't over yet, but this has to be the Quote of the Year.
