Abstract
Over the last four decades the pace of technological change has occasioned the rapid introduction of new subjects into the school curriculum, notably computer science and technology. Both subjects are outgrowths of the new dominance that things electronic have come to assume on a global scale. This chapter tracks the politics surrounding the introduction of technology into the curriculum and locates this within the 1994 transition from apartheid to democracy.-
