If for example, the curriculum remains the same, even though it may be taught by different people, things do not necessarily shift. Black children in a primary school may still learn English nursery rhymes and not songs in their own language, even if they are being taught by black teachers. Groups that are not dominant do not have a voice. UCT is predominantly a Eurocentric space, and many people feel uncomfortable to participate in that space. There are strong feelings that certain tasks and accomplishments at UCT get valued and others not.
Some institutional tasks are often invisible.
What gets valued often has to do with power inequalities. Agendas are often already decided, before issues are opened for broader debate. There is a perception amongst staff that there are layers of politics and agendas. There is a monopoly on information . There is a language of the knowledgeable, which consists of acronyms and jargon and locks people out of strategic discussions.
