Abstract

ABSTRACT What advanced study ought to be available to teachers? This paper presents an account of a study conducted in the University of Zimbabwe. This study is characterised by critical features: it demonstrates historical, moral and political awareness. The Zimbabwean situation is such that the function of schooling in relation to its religious origins and in relation to political authorities is demonstrably problematic. It is suggested that what is problematic in Zimbabwe is also so elsewhere. But in today's crisis in educational studies there exist no obvious successors to the churches as custodians of moral authority. It falls to the reconstructed ‘universities’ to rescue what may be rescued from the centralised and mechanistic prescription governing today's in‐service education for teachers in Britain.
