Archive of Quarterly Review

The Quarterly Review, published by the EPU, from 1993 to 2006, provided a unique and crucial commentary and analysis of the changes in education over the transition from apartheid to democracy in South Africa. The Review provide a critical analysis of developments in education and training, and was useful to academics, policy makers in government, members of social movements, trade unionists, journalists and interested lay-people. Although the EPU no longer publishes the Quarterly Review, the archives are housed here, to ensure that scholars, educationalists, and the interested public can access this important historical source.
