SACHED – RESOURCE FOR CHANGE (1986) opens in Durban in March, 1986, at the National Education Crisis Conference. South Africa is under a State of Emergency. From the mid-1960s, SACHED, a national organisation, explored and established an alternate educational agency for transformation during the apartheid years. The film highlights SACHED’s projects twenty years later. Interviews with staff and students from the different centres in Durban, Johannesburg, Cape Town, East London, Grahamstown and Pietermaritzberg reflect the different project needs of each region. These relate to tertiary education, teacher-training, trade-unions, newpapers, alternative learning materials for schools, the teenage magazine UPBEAT – and much more.
