20.500.12556/RUL-182202 A workers’ education curriculum with no production issues? Gaps in workers’ education in South Africa Despite massive changes in production, workers’ education, especially in South Africa, is misaligned with the radical transformation of the labour process and the introduction of new technologies in the workplace. Understandably, workers’ education in South Africa has tended to focus on wages and politics because black labour under Apartheid was cheap. Based on indepth interviews and internet sources, this research paper shows that workers’ education in South Africa generally covers what I call redistribution themes, which include wages, benefits, and, in many instances, politics of upward social mobility at the expense of production, which affects workers negatively in the form of retrenchments, changes in skills, and increased work pace. This omission has effectively left production-related matters in the hands of employers, who prioritise advancing and protecting their profit interests. Kljub velikim spremembam v proizvodnji se izobraževanje delavcev, zlasti v Južni Afriki, ni uskladilo z radikalno preobrazbo delovnega procesa in uvajanjem novih tehnologij na delovnem mestu. Razumljivo je, da se izobraževanje delavcev v Južni Afriki osredotoča na plače in politiko, ker je bila v času apartheida delovna sila črnih delavcev poceni. Na podlagi poglobljenih intervjujev in internetnih virov pokažem, da izobraževanje delavcev v Južni Afriki na splošno zajema teme, ki jih imenujem teme prerazporeditve. Te vključujejo plače, nadomestila in pogoste primere navzgor usmerjene družbene mobilnosti na račun tem, povezanih s proizvodnjo, kar negativno vpliva na delavce zaradi omejevanj, sprememb v zahtevanih spretnostih in povečane hitrosti. Teme, povezane s proizvodnjo, so tako dejansko prepuščene delodajalcem, ki dajejo prednost svojim dobičkonosnim interesom in jih tudi ščitijo. technological innovations trade unions workers’ education adult learning adult education production curriculum sindikati tehnološke inovacije izobraževanje odraslih učenje odraslih teorija učenja odraslih izobraževanje delavcev proizvodnja kurikulum true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Južna Afrika; Članek v reviji 2026-04-30 11:43:47 2026-04-30 11:43:55 2026-05-01 04:26:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 43-59 št. 1 Letn. 32 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2026-01-01 374.7 1318-5160 10.4312/as/19368 276782083 Hlatshwayo.pdf Hlatshwayo.pdf 1 F7B233C4A6BC90143EA288B4907F378D 6070cd4f3c788151f941b2c7b0172a5970dabff33dde462c0812b2f75bb5ada9 f3c5e715-4479-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=233208 https://journals.uni-lj.si/AndragoskaSpoznanja/article/view/19368/21230 1 d6cec81a-4478-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=233207 Filozofska fakulteta Andragoška spoznanja 0 0 0
