This report explores three interrelated areas tied to the role of education in promoting social cohesion in South Africa. They include: the integration of education into the country's social cohesion policies and processes (RA 1); the role of teachers in building social cohesion (RA 2); and the role of formal and non-formal education programmes focusing on youth and social cohesion (RA 3).
