    The Xhosa Philosophy of Life and the educational system of the Ciskei: An attempted reconciliation
    (University of Fort Hare, 1980-12) Feketa, Thamsanqa D
    Education is today a subject of general interest. A glance at the table of contents of most current newspapers and magazines reflects articles by educators, laymen, teachers and parents, each with some claim to authority, for there is a modicum of the educator in all adult people. Education is viewed as a scapegoat on the one hand and as a panacea on the other; as the only hope for a better future or as the reason for our present moral decline, as a reflection of social ills, or as a mould of Society. Education is described as meaning all things to all people so much so hat one begins to wonder .if the different writers could possibly be talking about one and the same thing (Bowye, 1970: 20).
