Abstract	The article argues that the ongoing process of educational transition needs to be understood in the context of the broader political, social and economic transformations both within South Africa itself as well as internationally. The authors outline the tensions and competing ideological positions within South Africa's first Government of National Unity and show how these impact on the nature of both macro-level (policy and legislation) and micro-level (implementation of educational policy) actions. The authors then outline some of the advances made by the African National Congress (ANC) in transforming the educational system, but also the constraints and dilemmas which riddle the process. The critical issues for the authors are autonomy versus the state, establishing the new democracy, education and nation-building, the state and the market, equity versus quality and elitism versus massification.
