  • African Higher Education: Focus on local context.
  • 2022
  • In: The 14th SANORD International Conference..
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Africa have about 1225 officially registered higher education institutions(https://www.4icu.org/Africa/). Some of them are founded by formal colonizers and whileothers through national and local initiatives. The majority of these institutions are Euro-Centric in their approach. This text will investigate briefly what is expected of African highereducation to transform societies to the better.The study is based on analysis of secondary data searched and found from Google Scholar,ERIC, and Primo database. Terms such as Higher education in Africa, African highereducation, possibilities and limitations of African higher education are used for the search.15 articles relevant to the purpose of the study are identified and used.The result of the study shows that African universities need local epistemologies andknowledge production systems to identify, research and propose solutions to localproblems. Teaching and research should take in to consideration social experiences andknowledge of the local communities. Local languages should be considered to undertakeresearch, to distribute knowledge and to secure communities’ engagement.Teachings and research need to address the political unrest, social injustice, economicunderdevelopment and technological backwardness most countries are facing. Focus on thelocal realities and transformation should be prioritized instead of international competitionand commodification of higher education. For transforming higher education to focus onlocal context, there is a need that the management, administration and academic staffstudents as well as the society at large should stand together.

  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Compulsory School Curricula of South Africa (RNCS1, 2002) and Sweden (Lpo 294).AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyse the compulsory school curricula of South Africa and Sweden. It focuses on contexts for their introduction, main actors in the process, democratic values they contain and their similarities and differences. Norman Fairclough’s Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) is used for analysis. The curricula and references to other literatures show similarities and differences. Contextual similarities are that both countries were once under oppression and their masses were isolated from the education process and more resources were invested on their elites. At present the curricula of both countries strives for democratic education. A major difference is equal opportunities for the students to attend a school of their choice are higher in Sweden than in South Africa. The Swedish curriculum is more concrete on issues related to students, teachers and other school staff’s rights and responsibilities, and on relations between school, home and society.Key words: South Africa, Sweden, Curricula, and Democratic values

  • 2013
  • Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
    • Democratic values in the comprehensive schools curricula of the Nordic countries. The major focus of this paper is to find out which aspects of democratic values are emphasised in the comprehensive schools curricula of the five Nordic countries. It is also an intention of the paper to find out similarities and differences in emphasis and if available data allows to further investigate the reasons for differences and similarities.Major sources for the work were curricula of comprehensive schools from the different Nordic countries. Each countries current curriculum was closely read to understand their contents and to undertake comparative analysis. Text analysis was used as a major tool to look closely at the text and context. For further knowledge journals on curriculum studies and other relevant materials were consulted.A preliminary review of the general section of comprehensive schools curricula of these countries show:In the Danish curriculum participation, responsibility and understanding rights and duties are emphasised.The Finnish curriculum raises issues on human rights, equality, natural diversity, preservation of environment and multiculturalism. Responsibility, a sense of community and respect for the right and freedom of the individual are emphasised. General diversity and gender equality are given significant attention.In the Icelandic curriculum the major focus is human rights, collective responsibility, participation, influencing, and respect. Concern for people, animal and the environment are included in the curriculum. Critical thinking and reflection, active cooperation & collective responsibility are also emphasised.The Norwegian curriculum mentions understanding, cooperation, independence, individual freedom and tolerance as important issues.Swedish curriculum raises issues on respect for human rights, respect for persons and the environment. It considers inviolability of human life, individual freedom and integrity, equality between women and men, solidarity with the weak and vulnerable as crucial points. Sense of justice, generosity of spirit, tolerance and responsibility, well-being and development of the individual, no discrimination and personal responsibility were among the areas the curriculum lifted up.The curricula in these five countries give room for democratic values. There are some variations on emphasises on specific issues. But all the curricula include issues of rights and responsibilities.Keywords: curricula, democratic values, Nordic countries
