"The new Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) developed by researchers at the University of Pretoria has replaced the old Higher Education Diploma (HOD) teacher education programme. The programme was developed by Professors Johannes Slabbert, Dorothea de Kock and Annemarie Hattingh of the Department of Humanities Education.The book, based on more than a decades' research, explores the reasons why education needs to change radically and swiftly in order to face the challenges of the future. It also identifies what changes in education are needed and suggests how this required change can be implemented successfully in education and teacher education practice"--University of Pretoria website.
