Abstract

Despite increasing global stress on education that nurtures innovation and empowerment, Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) curricula remain largely disengaged from entrepreneurial settings. This study explores the infusion of entrepreneurial skills into science learning to catalyse innovation in Eswatini’s selected secondary schools. Anchored in a mixed-methods approach, this study collected data through questionnaires, interviews, and literature methods. Through the use of a comparative matrix, results from the reviewed literature were triangulated with questionnaire data and qualitative responses by aligning developing themes. The stratified random sampling technique was used to select 30 respondents. Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics, qualitative responses underwent thematic analysis, and literature data were analysed through systematic content analysis. Results revealed a high level of awareness among teachers regarding the importance of entrepreneurial skills in science learning. Additionally, respondents reported employing innovative pedagogical strategies, including inquiry-based and project-based learning, to promote entrepreneurship-oriented instruction. The study highlighted the necessity for strategic policy reforms and sustained professional development to equip science teachers with the requisite skills and support. It advocates for the creation of collaborative, interdisciplinary learning environments that nurture both scientific inquiry and entrepreneurial thinking. Ultimately, the research concludes that entrepreneurial skills are being infused into science learning to a considerable extent to catalyse innovation. This study advances STEM education reform by integrating entrepreneurial skills into Eswatini’s science curriculum. The results offer valuable insights for policymakers, teachers, and curriculum developers seeking to align science learning with the national innovation and economic development agenda.

Abstract

Southern African Development Community (SADC)’s internationalization of higher education curriculum presents substantial opportunities and challenges. This paper explores the multifaceted process of integrating global perspectives into the curriculum of higher education institutions across SADC region. The 62 journal research papers, selected through purposive sampling, were obtained from databases including Scopus, DOAJ, DHTE, and WoS. Using citation analysis and keyword co-occurrence, the paper explores key themes, trends and influential studies, articulating the discourse concerning opportunities and challenges around the internationalisation of SADC’s higher education curriculum. It identifies opportunities, which include enhanced global competitiveness, collaborative partnerships, cultural exchanges, innovation in research and supportive policy development. However, the paper also highlights policy inconsistency, resource constraints, quality assurance and cultural differences. The findings underscore the potential of internationalized curricula to enhance SADC’s higher education quality and relevance. Ultimately, this contributes to the region's socio-economic growth and global integration. In conclusion, the SADC region’s internationalization of higher education curriculum presents mutually significant opportunities and distinguished challenges. To maximize the benefits of internationalization, a concerted effort is required from member states to work together to create an enabling environment for international cooperation and exchange such that higher education institutions can unlock their full potential.

Abstract

Abstract: Due to emerging socio-political conditions, economic competition, and global trends, higher education in Southern Africa has undergone significant changes recently. Nonetheless, several policy concerns continue to impede the expansion and advancement of higher education establishments in Southern Africa. In light of this, this paper aimed to comprehend the policy concerns plaguing Southern African higher education. In this sense, a qualitative approach is the foundation for data generation, analysis, and discussion. This enables it to search for participants' experiences and opinions in the higher education reform process. This encompasses policy analysis to interrogate 112 peer reviewed papers selected from the Scopus, DOAJ, DHTE, Scielo SA, and WoS and written. Hence, content analysis is required to identify themes and trends in this paper. This makes it possible to seek out the experience and views of the stakeholders within the reform process in the higher education. This entails policy analysis to examine the government and institutional policies, international publications and reports. The necessity of this paper is to utilise content analysis to establish themes and trends in higher education policy and reforms in Southern Africa. Although the interrogation of these questions in the case of Southern African nations like South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, etc., the paper peaks top policy concerns in higher education, opening doors and overcoming obstacles of reform. From the above conclusion, a recommendation is made on sharpening the policy agenda in Southern Africa’s higher education. Keywords: Handling policy, higher education, rethinking, Southern Africa

Abstract

Background of the study: This paper centres on cultural pedagogy and its influence on transforming fragmented approaches into holistic, inclusive frameworks that nurture identity, community values, and lifelong learning. Aims and scope of paper: This study aims to transform fragmented Early Childhood Education (ECE) curricula in Southern Africa by embedding cultural pedagogy that nurtures holistic child development and strengthens cultural identity. It focuses on examining existing frameworks to identify gaps in cultural relevance while exploring indigenous knowledge systems, storytelling, play, and community-based practices as tools for curriculum transformation. Finally, the study sought to propose an integrated model that fosters identity formation, social cohesion, and lays strong foundations for lifelong learning. Methods: A systematic review approach guided by the PRISMA framework was employed to cross-examine 79 sources purposively selected from targeted databases (Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, AJOL, and Scielo, SA). Thematic analysis was employed to identify trends and gaps linked to cultural pedagogy and curriculum transformation in ECE across Southern Africa. Results: Based on the results, it was drawn that Ubuntugogy and chat theory formed the theoretical underpinning of cultural pedagogy in the ECE space. It was also revealed that curriculum fragmentation and pedagogical marginalisation were influenced by the historical, structural, and institutional factors. The results acknowledged the significance of language, storytelling, music, and play in nurturing culturally grounded ECE. In addition, the reviewed sources argued for inclusive curriculum frameworks, integration of cultural pedagogy into ECE policies, and a paradigm shift towards child-centred and community-based learning. Lastly, the selected sources emphasised the challenges and opportunities in redefining fragmented ECE curriculum across Southern Africa. Contribution: This study contributes by providing a culturally responsive framework that addresses fragmented early childhood curricula in Southern Africa. It offers practical insights for educators, policymakers, and communities to design inclusive programmes that strengthen identity, social cohesion, and lifelong learning foundations.

Abstract

Purpose – This paper sought to provide an overview and arguments of prevailing South Africa’s higher education initiatives, focusing on transformative leadership’s influence on sustainable Early Childhood Development (ECD) teacher development emphasizing partnership, empowerment, and shared vision.Design/methods/approach – This paper is grounded in a systematic review approach based on the selected keywords. 180 articles written in English and published between 2007 and 2024 in DHTE, Scopus, WoS, DOAJ, and Scielo SA databases were targeted as potential sources for this study. Systematic review guidelines were used to reduce them, focusing on topics, abstracts, and issues. The selected 80 articles were analysed independently for reliability and transferability. In addition, content analysis was used to construe the influence of transformational leadership on sustainable ECD teacher development within South Africa. Findings – The findings reveal that the rationale for adopting transformative leadership in sustainable ECD teacher development in higher education is grounded in the culture of continuous learning and professional growth.  This encourages reflection and self-assessment among teachers, helping them to evaluate their practices and adapt to meet students' needs better, which is crucial for sustainable development. In addition, this leadership style addresses social justice issues by advancing inclusive and equitable educational practices. It was acknowledged that this supports ECD teachers in developing their knowledge, skills and values. This enhances teachers’ teaching practices thereby contributing to sustainable ECD educational outcomes. Research implications/limitations – The review acknowledges the limitation of possible interpretive bias and recommends the need to explore further how transformative leadership can be adopted into the contemporary ECD curriculum. Practical implications – This provides insights for policymakers, curriculum developers, and teachers with an emphasis on how transformative leadership can influence the quality of the ECD teacher development programme in South Africa. Originality/value – This review contributes to the field by highlighting a largely overlooked transformative leadership style and suggesting how its influence can inform the creation of sustainable ECD teacher development.Paper type Literature review
