Is democratic education a solution to South Africa's educational problems? Education in South Africa is in crisis due to many problems it faces. Education in South Africa is governed by the state under the Department of Basic Education for primary and secondary school, not tertiary education and training. The question I will address here is: “Is democratic education a solution to South Africa's educational problems”? As many people know, our education in South Africa faces many issues that affect learning in our school, which also affect the learners. The way these things are happening now makes it seem like our government is failing to solve these problems. In this essay, I will propose a reasoned option on what education is; what democracy is (including the elements involved); present some of South Africa's educational problems and explain why they are problems and finally defend my position on this. Let me first clarify what education and democratic education are. Education is defined as the process of acquiring knowledge either formally or informally, but here I will focus on institutional education which is formal. Democratic education is defined as the type of education that takes place in an appropriate environment where all learners are treated equally. Democratic education can also be defined as an educational system based on the principle that all learners have equal rights in treatment. According to Gutmann (1987), it defines education as an educational ideal in which democracy is a goal and method of teaching in schools. Democratic is one that brings democratic values into schools in terms of equality and fairness. Education in South Africa is in crisis as it... middle of paper ...... education for all. Some provinces benefit from it but others are discriminated against. This problem poses political problems, but until the government that uses high potions takes action on this, it can be resolved as quickly as possible. The state must find the root of this problem so that it can be resolved as quickly as possible. If the state does not act, this problem risks getting worse. The parent of this province can also react on this issue if they want their children to succeed. Parents need to take this issue into their own hands, even if they don't control education, to tell these people to do something about the textbook issue. How can learners learn if they don't have enough resources to help them thrive in life? Parents must take this issue seriously so that the government does something as quickly as possible..
