Abstract

Nelson Mandela said: “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world”. Education, however, is not only about passing on skills and knowledge but also about developing character or, as the authors of Developing Tenacity, put it: developing capabilities or dispositions that will aid the learner not only at school but all through life.
