'n Eksemplariese studie van die agogiese nood in agtergeblewe stedelike gebiede

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT:A sudy was undertaken to investigate the agogic need in deprived urban areas and the possiblealleviation of the problem.To investigate the problem, a wide range of literature was consulted that consisted of educationalprojects, magazine articles, pamphlets and literature pertaining to community colleges.Interviews were conducted with different social workers, chairmen of different organisations,guidance teachers, clergy of different religions, community leaders and even a gang-leader.An empirical study of Elsies River community was conducted to determine the problems andshortcomings. The variety of problems experienced in the community, appears to be the symptomsof a more profound nature. Different organisations in the area that are actively busy in thecombating of problems are also used as references. Attention is also given to life-long education,continuous education, informal education and distance education.Also noted is the fact that humans possess a certain yearning that should be addressed by educational accompaniment. This yearning must be acknowledged by the educationist in anyeducational programme and must be considered against the background of the realities of beinghuman. If these yearnings are not considered, as well as the realities of being human, it can havedire consequences for a country and its people.In conclusion, more specific attention is paid to community colleges. Also noted will be recenteducational reports and the proposals made in this regard. Specific attention was paid to theviability of the possibilities to establish a community college in Elsies River. It seems as if acommunity college can render a considerable contribution to the alleviation of the agogic need.
