Title: Teacher Graduate Production In South Africa
Description: This monograph examines changes in enrolment and graduation patterns of education students at higher education institutions, which are pivotal suppliers of especially the initial professional education of teachers, but also the continuing professional development of practising teachers. The study is based on an uninterrupted time series of institutional data from 1995 to 2004, which supports a uniquely fine-grained analysis of long-term teacher graduate demographic trends that impact on the present. Major emerging trends in the post-millennium period are the diminishing participation of young African women in programmes for the initial professional education of teachers, and the fact that access to teacher education study is predominantly in urban universities.
