Young, Charles – British Journal of Guidance & Counselling, 2009
This paper provides CORE-OM intake norms for a South African university counseling service, and compares these to the United Kingdom counseling service data reported by Connell, Barkham and Mellor-Clark (2007).

Vandeyar, Saloshna – International Journal of Educational Development, 2008
This is an exploratory study on the nature and extent of racial integration in South African schools in the post-apartheid period.

Smith, Colin Bridges – Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 2007
Apartheid created more than physical distances between color groups; South Africa is made up of people with often separated minds. Leaders of the democratic government draw from and modify the ancient African tribal value called "ubuntu" as the philosophic basis for their cultural strategy of unification. Sandra Chait has pointed out…

O'Brien, Kevin – Online Submission, 2010
South Africa is currently experiencing a crisis in its educational systems that if not addressed, could threaten the stability of the newly established democracy. A lack of access to quality education and severe shortage of skilled trained educators is perpetuating vestiges of the old apartheid state in the nation. Approximately 6,000 students…

Smith, Colin Bridges – Frontiers: The Interdisciplinary Journal of Study Abroad, 2007
Among the Xhosa tribe in South Africa storytelling is a magnificent art. But these stories are more than mere entertainment. Xhosa scholar Harold Scheub says story-telling for the Xhosa people is "not only a primary means of entertainment and artistic expression in the society, it is also the major educational device." Beyond education,…

Christopher, A. J. – Urban Studies, 2001
Analysis of 1996 South African census data reveals a general decline in urban racial segregation since ending legal apartheid in 1991. Whites remain both more segregated and less open to change than other groups. Africans have become more integrated, though most are constrained in their choice of residential options due to poverty. Segregation…

Lundgren, Berit; Botha, Liz – Education Inquiry, 2010

In terms of Apartheid's grand design, an area designated Mitchell's Plain was demarcated for…

Fritz, Elzette; Henning, Elizabeth; Swart, Estelle – International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education (QSE), 2008

The glimpse is extracted largely from an ethnography that was composed in 2000. In this study of school life, the biennial play was central to the year's activities. In the play the tone, content…
