ESSAY QUESTION
In the South African context, over and above teaching Foundation/Intermediate Phase
learners
Title: Teaching Diversity in South African Classrooms: The Role of Literary Texts
Introduction:
In the South African context, fostering an understanding and appreciation of diversity
among Foundation/Intermediate Phase learners is crucial. While teaching learners how
to read and write is fundamental, it is equally important to sensitize them to issues of
diversity from an early age. This essay explores the significance of teaching learners
about diversity, the use of literary texts as effective resources for this purpose, and the
resulting benefits for learners' social and cultural wellbeing.
Understanding Diversity and its Influence on South African Schools:
Diversity refers to the wide range of differences, including race, ethnicity, culture,
language, religion, socioeconomic status, and abilities, among individuals within a
society. South Africa, with its complex history of apartheid and subsequent democratic
transition, is a country characterized by significant diversity. The legacy of apartheid has
left deep social divisions, and it is essential to address these divisions and promote
inclusivity within the education system.
