Developmental social work education: a field example

our society (Bernstein, 1991, 1995). Social work education plays an important role in preparing students for the realities of practice but at the same time education has to play a proactive role in anticipating future needs and changes (Gray, 1994). By so doing, it can contribute to modifications in practice. This article begins with a brief history of social work education in South Africa and examines through a particular field example the way in which it is responding to the new social agenda of reconstruction and development, in the belief that social work educators have a pivotal role to play in preparing students for this challenge.
