Are the doors of learning and culture open to all? In this episode of We Should Be Writing, education is under the spotlight. Under discussion: the ongoing struggle to open the doors of education, which were once closed for the black majority; unfulfilled promises and how to elevate non-academic learning pathways.
In conversation with guests, Irfaan Mangera and Ewan Dawkins, our hosts unpack the legacy of a 70 year principle from the Freedom Charter, which promises quality education for all. Tough questions about South Africa's education system, the power of youth activism, policy reform and the value of vocational and technical training are on the table.
