南非是许多国家之一，其教育制度正在走向民主化和现代化。一项全面的国家改革计划反映了南非对全球思想的采纳，包括权力下放、民主化和“以结果为基础的教育”（OBE）。然而，教育改革是克理奥尔化和重新克理奥尔化（Hannerz，1987年），因为它通过南非的制度，从国家政策到省级授权，从省级授权到地方和课堂实践，重新定向或重新解释发生。改革与现实之间的差异，即政策实践的二分法，是一种现象，在对一系列采纳外部思想的发展中国家的改革和实施问题的研究中得到了检验（例如，Arnove 1999; Brook纳皮耶出版; Paulston 1976; Reimers和McGinn 1997;里德尔1998; Rust和Yogev 1994; Samoff 1999 a和1999 b）。为了真实的理解教育改革，我们需要考虑南非和其他国家的学校教育的各种生活文化，以及关于教育改革的世界文化理论的可行性。是什么因素塑造了南非系统中中级和地方层面的克里奥尔化和重新克里奥尔化的改革版本，以及什么影响是进口改革开始的核心？从大局来看，南非是否正在加入世界教育体系？和
South Africa is one of many nations embarking on democratization and modernization of its education system. A sweeping national reform program reflects South Africa’s adoption of global ideas including decentralization, democratization, and “outcomes-based education”(OBE). However, educational reform is creolized and re-creolized (Hannerz 1987) as it moves through South Africa’s system from national policy to provincial mandate and from provincial mandate to local and classroom practice, as redirection or reinterpretations occur. The difference between reform and reality, the policy practice dichotomy, is a phenomenon examined in research on reform and implementation issues in an array of developing countries that adopted ideas from outside (for example, Arnove 1999; Brook Napier in press; Paulston 1976; Reimers and McGinn 1997; Riddell 1998; Rust and Yogev 1994; Samoff 1999a and 1999b). For real understanding of educational reform, we need to consider the variety of lived cultures of schooling in South Africa and other countries, as well as the viability of world culture theory regarding educational reform. What factors shaped the creolized and re-creolized versions of reform at intermediate and local levels in the South African system, and what influences were at the heart of the imported reforms to begin with? Considering the large picture, is South Africa joining a world system of education? And
