- Description
- This chapter describes Environmental and Sustainability Edu-cation (ESE) in South Africa against the backdrop of a chang-ing educational system. It discusses changing educational im-peratives in post-apartheid South Africa and how these have been interpreted and applied in three curriculum revisions in South Africa since 1994: Curriculum 2005, the Revised Na-tional Curriculum Statements and the Curriculum Assessment Policy Statement. The narrative also examines a changing pic-ture of teacher professional development in South Africa high-lighting how constructivist and social realist understandings of education, development and learning have entered the dis-course and influenced practice in South Africa. The chapter concludes with highlighting how a relational approach to learn-ing, as evident in ESE practices in South Africa, can help to avoid a pendulum swing between the dichotomies of compet-ing discourses.
