| Summary: | Education in the early 21 st century: A Christian-educational perspectiveThe transition from one century to another calls educators and educationists to scrutinize trends from the past and the present, and to realistically project them into the future. They need to do this because of the future-directedness of education and educational science: people have to be educated in order to be empowered for meaningful future existence. The research underlying this article was inspired by the transition from the 1900s to the 2000s, as well as by President Mbeki's injunction that South African educators should be prepared to face the next century. With reference to the “Tirisano” project, a probable religious-cultural-social scenario for the first decades of the next century is described and evaluated from a Biblical-educational point of view. The discussion is concluded by expressions of concern about the secular and humanistic nature of both the "Tirisano" programme and the broader global trends with which educators will have to grapple in the next few decades. |
