  ABSTRACT: This chapter explored a South African education policy. Specifically the authorexamined outcomes-based learning and the implications of this borrowed curriculum in South African schools.The authorfocused on curriculum as aplatform for discussion of the unique approachthatthe South African government employed to modify their adoption of democracy and transformation. Unfortunately, many scholars reluctantly concede that South Africa’sambitious policy initiatives failed to provide social justice in schools.Educationis often the driving force in society: socially, economically, and politically. In particular, education can either liberate social ideologies or become a tool to reinforce stratification. With a political ideology of democracy emerging in South Africa, one would think that democratic educational structures would act to diminish race, class and gender inequalities; however, this has not been a pervasive result.
