RT Article T1 Facing the educational challenges in South Africa: an educophilosophical reflection JF Koers VO 63 IS 1/2 SP 5 OP 20 A1 Viljoen, C. T. LA English YR 1998 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1936632721 AB The educational challenge in South Africa is currently demonstrated by the fact that education is seen as a priority on all agendas, be they national, provincial or local.
