Afrikaners Abroad: Demonstrating the Impact of International Education

Dave Jervis ; Washburn University, Topeka, Kansas

Abstract

International education professionals have argued that participants in overseas study programs return home as “different people. ” They know more about their own country as well as the country where they studied, evaluate their homeland more critically, and often become more tolerant and altruistic. This article illustrates the impact of foreign study upon five prominent South African Afrikaners. While a very small sample, the comments and actions of each upon his return to South Africa illustrates the types of learning traditionally associated with overseas educational experiences.
