What did education look like prior to #colonialism? What did it look like in the #colonial era and how did that pave the way for #apartheid in the 20th century? What damage did apartheid education do to the many societies that make up South Africa? And how are #ANC governments trying - and perhaps failing - to undo that damage?

To address these questions and more, we are joined by South African educationist Nadeema Jogee who delivers a master class on education in South Africa in this webinar.
