South Africa has experienced many changes since the new political party came into power in 1994. Education has been targeted as one of the means of bringing about reform. The result is that many changes have been introduced into education. Teachers have more pupils in their classes. Many are teaching a new curriculum; others face the prospect of adapting to Outcomes-Based Education as per curriculum 2005. Changes have had an enormous influence on teachers' careers. This study comprises a look at the influence that change has had and will have on teacher's careers as well as the impact of the changes on Lifelong Learning.
