’n Historiese perspektief op onderwys en opvoeding

Abstract

Seen from the Christian point of view, it seems as if education and training in South Africa finds itself in a crisis situation. An example of a similar crisis that was successfully averted is taken from the history of the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek. Christian education and training helped to form the people living in the Zuid-Afrikaansche Republiek into a Christian nation and to build a country with Christian customs and laws. This example taken from history, serves to empowers and inspires Christians today to take up the responsibility and personally provide Christian education and training for the youth. There is no need to depend on the State schools to provide the crucial, non-negotiable basic foundation to education. Christians have to take responsibility for and ownership of their faith and the proper education of their children.
