South African students must be given the chance to read what they like
University curricula in South Africa are still largely European or American in origin and focus. In some spaces, though, academics are starting to shift the terrain by introducing an African-centred curriculum. In the past few months, the state of the curriculum at South Africa's universities has become a hot topic. This debate is part of a larger discussion about post-apartheid transformation. Some commentators have suggested that decolonising curricula will lower academic standards.
