2 COMMENTS ON ASSIGNMENT 02
Question 1
a) Define the following terms and give an example of each:
i) Multicultural school
ii) Prejudice
iii) Assimilation
COMMENT
This question was general well answered, but students relied too much on the prescribed book
and study guide for the definition. You were expected to use your own words.
Marking: Definition + one example given (2+1) = 3 marks
Notes:
i) Multicultural education is an approach designed to change the environment so that
different kinds of groups, including ethnic groups, women and learners with special
needs, experience educational equality and academic parity.
Example: South Africa’s education system aspires to be multicultural and has achieved this to a
certain extent in some schools, especially those in big urban centres. (3)
ii) Prejudice is defined as a judgement or opinion against or in favour of a person or thing
formed beforehand or without due examination of the facts.
Example: You dislike some people because they don’t share your religion. (3)
