dc.description.abstract | In a diverse and fractured post-colonial society, schools need to take
cognizance of the multi-faceted perspectives of heritage represented within
the school community. A healthy debate between the various segments of
the society of which a school is but a microcosm, needs to be facilitated and
consensus reached on the recognition of a common humanity and the rights of
citizens in a complex and vibrant nation. It is in the minutiae of that which is
to be found in local history, and the pride that the preservation thereof instils
in communities regarding their heritages and their place in the world, that a
sense of belonging and, ultimately, good citizenship is fostered. Embracing
previously ignored heritage does not necessitate “wiping the slate clean”. The
citizenry will be left poorer in the intellectual and historical debate if the net is
not cast wide enough and the emphasis falls upon exclusion and segmentation
rather than the need to embrace. | en_US |
