Abstract

The South African education system in the late 1990s is still trying to come to terms with the deep spatial and social divisions engendered by the apartheid past. School curricula have traditionally been devised at the centre with little collaboration from the practitioners in schools. With the end of apartheid, an attempt is being made to redress past imbalances and introduce a radically new curriculum. At present it seems that the position of geography in the new curriculum structure is somewhat precarious. However, it is suggested here that geographical education has a key role to play in the ‘new’ South Africa.
