Abstract
This paper focuses on the adoption of learner-centred education as a major curriculum innovation to address political and economic goals in the 1990s in southern Africa. It argues that sustainability has been far from the centre of concern despite statements to the contrary within either national curricular or aid agency statements of policy intent.-
