[South Africa].

The African National Congress’s (ANC) triumph over apartheid in 1994 resulted in the radical transformation of South Africa’s social, political, economic, cultural, and educational institutions. The vision for the transformation of the hitherto racially segregated higher education system was laid out in the Education White Paper 3: A Program for the Transformation of Higher Education (1997). Central to the transformation vision was the establishment of a single national coordinated system that would meet the individual needs of citizens and the reconstruction and development needs of the country (Ministry of Education, National Plan for Higher Education, 2001).
