Vol. Ill, No. Zl SEPTEMUEM 19S9

ON THE HOME FRONTBIG BROTHER has spoken; steps will be

taken to enforce a national educationpolicy, since a situation in which different idealsare pursued in different parts or the Union canno longer be tolerated.

Dr. Verwoerd's announcement was followedby an angry protest, in which the Black Sashjoined, based on Ihe fear that parents will losecontrol over their children's education and thatan alien philosophy will be imposed on them.

Nationalist Party spokesmen in Durban havesince denied that the new policy has any con­nection with Christian National Education­on which an article appears in this issue. Butthis does not wholly allay our anxiety. Thereare too many people in influential positionswho believe in C.N.E. and would like to con­dition the child mind into acceptance or anarrow fundamentalist religious creed and anarrogant Nationalist outlook,

It is useful to reflect for a moment on howparents control education in a free society.They do so by exerdsing pressure on the edu­cational authorities through their elected repre­sentatives - members of Parliament, council­lors and others - and by democratic partici­pation in the actual conduct of schools throughschool committees and parems' associations,They also usually have the right to choose towhich school they shall send Iheir children.

OP DIE TUISFRONTGROOT BROEDER het gepraa\; stappe sui

gedoen word om 'n nasionale onderwys­beleid uf te dwing, uangesien 'n stelscl waarinverskeie ideale in verskeie dele van die Uniegevolg word, nie langer geduld kan word nie.

'n Kwaai protes, waaraan die Swan Serpdcclgenccm het, het op dr. Verwoerd se aan­kondiging gevolg - 'n protes wat op die vreesgegrond word dat ouers beheer oor die op­voeding van hulle kinders sal verloor en dat 'nvreemde lewensaanskouing op hulle afgedwingsal word,

Woordvoerders van die Nasionale Party teDurban het sedertdien ontken dat die nuwebeleid enige verband het met die ChristelikeNasionale Onderwys - waaroor daar in hier­die uit.gawe 'n artikel verskyn. Maar dil ver­dryf me heeltemal ons besorgdheid nie. Daaris te veel mense in invloedryke poste wat aandie C.N.O. geheg is en wat graag die Idnder­versland so wil brei dal dit 'n nougesette,fundamentalistiesc godstiiensleer en 'n ver­waande Nasionalistiesc uitsig aanvaar.

Oit is behulpsaam om vir 'n oomblik na tedink hoe ouers in 'n vrye samelewing beheeroor onderwys uitoefen. Hulle doen dit deurdruk op die onderwysowerhede uit te oefendeur bemiddeling van veneenwoordigers wathulle verkies het - parlementslcde. raadsledeen ander - en deur op demokratiese wyse deel

But in South Afric-.a parent.s have been gradu­ally losing control of the educational system,In the Transvaal. for example, children muStattend the school nearest their place of resi­dence (unless tbey go to a ",.v11le school).Throughout South Africa there is tOO littkchoice of curricula, or of te.r.tbool:s. There isalso vinually no competitton for ordinaryteaching pests, a fact of the gnI\'l:Sl signi6c:anc:e,because it narTOWS the extent of local option.

The standard of school education is fallingbecause the human material on which it isbased is descending inlO the second and Ihird

r.ue. This is no rel\eetion on those deYOled,highly competent teachers still to be found inour schools: they would be the fint to admillhat the teaching profession is in decline. Therelife seyeral reasons fOl" Ihis: one of them iseconomic - the authorities assume that theSouth African public is unwilling to be moreheayily lIIxed in order to pay teachers IDOI'e

attMlClive salaries. Another reason is that manyable people have been excluded from lhe teach_ing profession through fear of the political con­straints that might be imposed on them.

THE main threat. as we see il. is not anexplicit programme of indoctrination. We

do not expecl to see large photographs of Dr.Verwocrd uppearing in every classroom, Wedo, indeed, fear the advent of lextbooks thathave Ihe C.N.E, "slant", of distorled historyteaching IInd r.acilllly bill5cd "socilll studies",But the gravest threat lies in the Ir.ansmissionof atlitudes Ihat mighl well not be explicitlyformulated. In the land of lhe Cllnnibals thechildren are not taught lhat it is a good thingto roast their enemies: they grow up acceptin!the practice as natural and proper.

What are wc going to do about the mountingassault on lhe minds of our chikfren? Tbc firstrequirement is to ensure that we, oursel\'es,Il1Insmit the right altitudes - and by that wemean Ihe great Western tradition of freethought and enquiry. as opposed 10 the closed

,

le neern aan die einllike: administrasie: yan dieskole deur skoolkomitees en ouers-ye:renigings.Hulle: bc:skik ook ge:woonlik oor die reg om selrte besluit op die skool waarna hulk hul kinderswil stuur. Maar in Suid,Afrika het oucrs ge'leidelik bc:heer oor dte: ondcrwysstelsel venoor.In die Transvaal moel kinders by. dte: skoolbywoon WlI n3a$le aan hul woning is (tensyhulk 'n privaatskool bywoon). DwarsdcurSud-Afrika is die keuse in \'erband met ker·phnne en skool~ke on\'okIoende. Daarbestlllan ook fe:itlik geen mededinging ten op­sigte van gewone ondcrwyspeste nil: -'n be,wnder ernstige tocstand. aangesien dit dieomvang van plaaslike ke:use inkon.

D:e peil van skoolonderwys is aan die dual-omdat die menslike: materiaal waarop dilrus tot 'n minderwaardige peil sak. Dit isgeen beoordeling yan die gewyde, hoop be­kwame onderwysers wat nog in ons skole altn,gelref word nie: huJIe sal die eente wees omte erken dal die onderw,sberoep agleruilgaan.Daar is verskeie: redes hlel"\'OOl": een is ekono­mies - die O'olr'erhc:de neem aan dat die Suid­Afrikaanse publiek onwillig is om hoer belas­tings te betaal Ie:n eindc: meer aantreklike5:tlarisse aan orKkrwysers un le: bied. NOS 'nrcdc is dat menige bekwame mense uit dieonderwysberoep gehou is lIeur vrees oor diepoIitid:e dwang wal 01' hulk ge~ mag word.

DIE grOOlSle dreigement. soos ons die saaksien. is nie 'n uitdruklike program van

indoktrinering nie. Ons yerwag nie om grOOlponrette V'.an dr. Ve:rwoerd in elke klaskamerle sie:n nie. Wat ons wel vrees is die ge:bruikYlin skoolboeke wat die: C.N.O.-..inslag" het.van yerdraaide geskiedenis, en yan "sosialestudies" wUI 01' mssegebied beyooroorde:e:l is,Die grootste dreigement bestalln egter in hou­dings WlI.t bes moontlik nie uitdruklik geformu,leer sal word nie. Onder die mensvreters wordkinde:rs nie: Ktlt" d:u dit iets goeds is om hulvyande in die kookpot te: slop nie: hulk wordgl'00l met die gedagte dat hierdie ge:bruikmlluurlik en reg is.

W.lI gaan ons doen in \'erband met die toe,nemende aanslag op die verstand van OIlSkindc:rs? Die eente vereiste is om toe: te siendat OIlS. die OUllrs. self die regIe houdings aanhulle oordra - en hte:rdeur bedoc:l OIlS die grootWesterse lradisie van Yl)'e gc:dagte en navraag.in Ic:enstelling mel die geslote ventand:

CHRISTIAN NATIONAL

EDUCATION• Is it Education'

rrHE Governmenl will introduce legis­lation to enforce a national educational

policy in South Africa, the Prime Minis·ter, Dr. Verwoerd, has announced.

The Prime Minister said there shouldbe uniformily in the sphere or education.It could not be otherwise. because thenation could maintain only one ideal inthe sphere ot education.

There could not be one ideal in onepart or the country and another in anotherpan. The Government would lay downtn legislation that which could be ex­pected from education in South Africa.

Nationalist institutions and provincialauthorities would have 10 adjust them­selves to that new educational ideal.
