Teacher education programmes seek to provide student teachers with the knowledge, disposition and expertise to provide quality teaching and

learning in a diverse and challenging school context. Learning to Teach in post-apartheid South Africa: Student Teachers’ Encounters with Initial Teacher Education addresses the complexities of teacher education programmes in preparing students to teach through empirically informed research.

It adds to the knowledge about teacher education, contributing critical understanding of education and the schooling system. The book provides

important insights to deepen researchers, academics, teacher education providers, policy-makers, and students’ understanding of the importance to address equity, redress, and quality in South African education in a postapartheid era. This book further helps to build student teachers’ capacities

to work creatively and to become active and critical agents of transformation. It ultimately outlines the challenges faced in designing and delivering

successful Initial Teacher Education programmes, and the impact this has on delivering equitable and quality education.
