Abstract
This minithesis is concerned with the nature of resistance
education in South Africa. During the 1985-1989 period in
South Africa , the notion of People's Education for People's
Power enjoyed prominence on the national agenda of both the
ruling Nationa.list government , the liberation forces opposing
the status quo , and civil society in general. Resistance
education , ds reflected in the People's Education for
People's Power initiative , raised many issues and questions
as to the nature of education in South Africa. It focused
renewed attention on the nature of Apartheid Education ,
strategies and tactics to challenge the Apartheid State on the
educational terrain , and also what kind of educational
principles should form the basis of educational reconstruction
in the post-Apartheid era
