FROM DECOLONISATION TO DIGITALISATION OF EDUCATION IN SOUTH AFRICA Author(s): Joshua Ebere Chukwuere J. Ponte - Dec 2017 - Volume 73 - Issue 12 doi: 10.21506/j.ponte.2017.12.15 Abstract: This article focuses on the literature related to the on-going discussions on decolonisation of education system and other sectors in South Africa and the digitalisation of teaching and learning in the country and continent at large. South Africa is going through the post-colonial experience and a recovering process from the wounds of apartheid, with many calling for immediate decolonisation of the entire education system. This decolonisation process cannot be complete without the recognition of African indigenous knowledge systems (AIKS) and the effective integration of the process into digitalisation both for the education system and the content thereof. The study discover a number of facets on decolonisation, Africanisation and digitalisation. This study provides privileges on the role of technology in making decolonisation effective in the 21st century education system. It recommended that successful decolonisation of teaching and learning process and other sectors should be through the alignment and integration with Africanisation and digitalisation initiatives. Finally, a comprehensive DDPM (see Figure 1) was formulated to facilitate an effective implementation of education decolonisation process.
