| Apartheid - why study it? |
|
At the end of this year, for
the second time in the history of South Africa,
there will be one national History examination
for the Senior Certificate. All Grade 12 History
learners will have the opportunity to learn
about critical aspects of our history, including
the history of apartheid. During the course of the Grade 12 year, History learners will also notice a shift from an emphasis on content towards an outcomes-based approach.Anyone who wants to understand South Africa today must understand the history of segregation and apartheid. Learning about apartheid is a difficult and challenging process. Learners will discover many painful truths about our country and will also debate a number of different perspectives. Teaching and learning about apartheid will challenge our minds and touch our hearts. The period from 1948 – 1994 is now a compulsory theme in the South African section of the examination paper. This means that all learners will have to answer an essay question and a source-based question on this theme. To support History teachers and learners in the province , the Gauteng |

Department of Education has formed a partnership
with the Apartheid Museum to produce a series of five supplements
on Understanding Apartheid. These supplements will provide support to Grade 12 History teachers and learners, as well as Grade 9 HSS teachers and learners, in their handling of the apartheid period. If you are not a learner or a teacher, we hope that these supplements will stimulate your interest in the history of apartheid and give you greater insight into aspects of contemporary South African society. This initiative forms part of the Social Plan and the Provincial South African History Project as announced by the Gauteng MEC for Education, Mr Ignatius Jacobs. The Social Plan encourages a culture of teaching and learning in schools. It has a strong values-in-education component, with a particular emphasis on education for human rights. Teachers and learners will have the opportunity to visit the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, adjacent to Gold Reef City, during the course of the year. These visits will introduce the history of apartheid through powerful films, photographs and oral testimonies, as well as a wide range of exhibitions. |
