Abstract
In South Africa, rural education and development are issues of social justice, especially
in places that were previously established as homelands. This article presents some of
the tensions that are inherent in the conceptions of rurality, rural education and the
possibility of sustainable rural education and development. We propose the notion of
education for rural development as a useful concept for its potential for transforming
and sustaining rural education. We describe the implications of education for rural
development on teacher education change by focusing on the teaching experience
(TE) programme.
