Professor Wally Morrow's career as a teacher in South African Faculties of Education stretches from the early 1970s until the end of the century. During these decades he had a significant influence on the students he taught, and the colleagues with whom he worked. He is currently a member of the HSRC Council, and a member of the South African Qualifications Authority. Professor Morrow was formerly Professor of Philosophy of Education and Dean of Education at the University of the Western Cape, Dean of Education at the University of Port Elizabeth, and Chair of the Ministerial Committee on Teacher Education.

One of the most original and distinctive thinkers in South African education over the past three decades, Wally Morrow was a founder member of the Kenton Conference, and established the academic journal Perspectives in Education, which jointly created intellectual space for critical discussion about education during dark times in South Africa. A previous collection of his essays, published in 1989 under the title Chains of Thought, addressed fundamental issues that were constantly disregarded in disputes about education during the decades of political struggle. Since the early 1990s he has been prominently involved in the project of transforming South African Education.
