“…These difficulties are exacerbated by the immense student diversity present within the South African context and the myriad of cultural, educational and linguistic backgrounds students have experienced, each of which may elicit different responses to such interventions (Lindsay, 1997). Although it is thus clear that students with a particular cluster of traits related to placing value on the work and studying independently are more likely to succeed in the RDAIIA module, understanding precisely how to develop these qualities is a more difficult matter that will require further research in order to structure appropriate interventions.…”

“…However, research courses, particularly those focusing on quantitative skills, have been shown to have high levels of difficulty and, as a consequence, relatively high failure rates (Laher, Israel, & Pitman, 2007;Murtonen & Lehtinen, 2003). This may be due in part to the difficulty of the material, anxiety regarding the mathematical nature of some of the content or an increase in student diversity leading to a wider range of factors requiring consideration during any form of teaching intervention (Laher et al, 2007;Lindsay, 1997;Shackleton, Riordan, & Simonis, 2006).…”

A number of children, teachers, and local residents would quickly run to elementary and secondary schools and teacher training colleges for sanctuary as fighting ensued (Lindsay, 1992(Lindsay, , 1997. Although there were attacks on educational institutions, the belief existed that they were not to be attacked since they were vital to an envisioned new South African democracy.…”

“…In essence, as Lindsay's (1997;Salzburg Seminar, 2007) research on South Africa demonstrated, when violence ensues, schools and universities should be sanctuaries, rather than fortresses or sites of attack. Attacks from both insurgents and the military on educational sites should not be evident.…”

“…Os documentos oficiais que serviram de base para as reformas recentes do ensino superior estabelecem como um dos principais objetivos a promoção de uma maior igualdade racial em universidades (cf. Adam, 1997;Lindsay, 1997) 17 . Algumas dessas práticas de inclusão de estudantes negros existiram durante o apartheid em universidades historicamente brancas de idioma inglês -tradicionalmente mais liberais e inclusivas 18 .…”
