“…Other studies in many African countries have reached similar conclusions that the relationship between the official and transacted curricula is characterized by many forms of mismatch such as those discussed above (Yager, 1984;Jansen, 1989;Olorundare, 1990;Towse and Amanuah-Mensha, 1994;Benschop et al, 1996;Stoll et al, 1996).

“…Hoe eerlik en outentiek is de-stereotiperingstegnieke en -strategieë? In 'n studie oor geskiedenis handboeke in Suid-Afrika na 1995 (Engelbrecht, 2008), word byvoorbeeld bevind dat kitsstrategieë soos swart/wit rolomkering of te wel 'exchanging white heroes for black heroes' (Jansen, 1989), aangewend word om apartheidsvoorstellings van die verlede reg te stel.
