A groundbreaking investigation, this study focuses on how South African teachers are being prepared, through the postgraduate certificate of education at three different universities, to resolve conflicts stemming from learner diversity—from racial differences to class, gender, and religious variations. Invaluable for educators, administrators, and policy-makers, this study calls upon documented and oral sources, along with surveys, focus groups, and interviews to provide the basis for an analysis on the context and history of each institution investigated. A profile of staff and students in teacher-education courses and the ways in which issues of diversity are addressed is also included.
