Abstract
This chapter considers some of the fundamentals of education from the perspective of experiences in South Africa where schooling has not been, and continues to remain, not necessarily accessible or at least sufficient. The terms schooling, teaching and education are interrogated and their contribution to a global education in an increasingly globalised world are considered.
