1.1 Some of the changes that were brought by the Industrial Revolution in the
economic and social life of people were:
o Work that used to be done by people using their hands were now being
replaced with machines.
o Created a major demand for labour and people moving into cities,
which in turn resulted in the separation of families.
o Child labour, as they were easy targets for work demand.
o People worked in poor conditions, they received low wages and there
was an
o increase in pollution.
1.2 The practice or policy of gaining full or partial political control over another
country, establishing settlements, and exploiting it economically is known as
colonialism. Colonialism has a bad impact and effect on early childhood
education. It sparked a desire to distance oneself from one's ancestors,
damaging the individual's self-esteem. African indigenous tribes such as the
KhoiKhoi believed in raising their children by imitating traditional customs
such as storytelling and pastoral farming, where Europeans had children
working from a young age, helping to herd cattle and gather food.
Colonialism has influenced pedagogy in the ECD environment, as well as the
language of teaching and communication utilized, the status of local
languages, and a limited understanding of the individual's past. Assimilation is
significant in colonial education because colonized people are pushed to
adapt to the colonists' cultures and traditions.
By seeking to build a European land by suppressing local culture, colonial
schooling influenced African formations. Individuals were educated to the
point where they could be excellent domestic servants as a result of the
schools' concern and focus on managing the people by enforcing Christian
ideals and social structure.
Apartheid is an Afrikaans word that signifies "discrimination." Apartheid was
an ideological stance held by the National Party, which ruled from 1924 until
1994. Apartheid's principal purpose was to divide racial groupings and their
cultural customs, with Afrikaans being the dominant group.
This had a significant impact on ECD and how children learned, particularly
those of diverse races and colours. Individuals were robbed of a good
education, work prospects, and basic rights, and families were split up, which
had a social and emotional impact on children. During the 1940s, there was a
distinct distinction between 'day-care centres,' which were viewed as a baby-
sitting service, and 'nursery schools,' which were viewed as a place where
actual learning took place. The Department of Social Welfare provided a little
subsidy to day-care centres, while provincial education agencies sponsored
nursery schools.
