Nation Building: A Dilemma for Education.
Higgs, Philip
Journal of Education and Training, v19 n2 p41-50 Nov 1998
The transformation of education for nation building, currently underway in South Africa, represents a political program driven by utility. Education should be concerned primarily with the self-empowerment of an individual person and, as such, not be sacrificed to demands of utility, which serves the narrow interests of the state and the economy.
