From the Council on Higher Education and Higher Education Quality Committee (HEQC) in South Africa. This Good Practice Guide on service-learning is one of several publications that the HEQC, in collaboration with JET Education Services (formerly Joint Education Trust), is devoting to community engagement in South African higher education. Higher Education Institutes vary widely in the way they locate and give effect to community engagement in their missions, and various approaches to and organisation of community engagement have emerged in South Africa. This publication focuses on one aspect of community engagement: service-learning. The publication benefits from the contributions of local and international specialists in terms of their different experiences of the practice of and approaches to service-learning in higher education.
