The year 2007 is the tenth anniversary of the launch of South Africa's outcomes-based education curriculum. Despite revisons that have occurred over the past ten years, the underlying approach to the national curriculum frameworks has remained outcomes-based education. Outcomes-based education has been the subject of fierce contestation in South Africa. Ten years down the line I therefore revisit some of the theoretical arguments levelled against outcomes-based education and also argue that outcomes-based education could be the carrier of alternative constellations of universes. This might be possible if outcomes(-based education) is viewed rhizomatically rather than arborescently.
