Full textThe HIV/AIDS epidemic in South Africa is characterised mainly by heterosexual transmission and an extremely rapid spread among adolescents and young adults in their early twenties, indicating the need for an increased focus on preventive efforts aimed at this age group. Apart from the development of a cure or vaccine to prevent HIV transmission, preventive programmes clearly offer the best chance of halting the spread of HIV, and these need to be based on behavioural change to modify or prevent risk behaviours. The challenge is to develop suitable theory-based programmes that address and promote safer sex behaviour, taking into account the local social and cultural environment. This cross-sectional study focused on a key HIV preventive behaviour, namely condom usage, and used as its research target adolescents, a key risk group for HIV infection in South Africa. It aimed to investigate the key variables that influence condom usage among adolescents in the Cape Town metropolitan area. The study was based on an integrated theoretical model using constructs from 5 of the most common social cognitive behavioural theories, namely, the Health Belief Model, Bandura’s Social Cognitive Theory, the Theory of Reasoned Action, the Theory of Planned Behaviour and the Theory of Subjective Culture and Interpersonal Relations. In addition, variables from Basch’s construct availability model were included. The sample comprised a representative three-stage sample of grade 11 adolescents from 36 schools in the Cape Town Metropolitan area (n = 1931). Formative research, in the form of an elicitation study using to focus group interviews with a purposive sample of adolescents, was used to develop the theory-based self-completion questionnaire used in this study. Twelve constructs were included in the questionnaire as potential correlates of condom use, namely: intention, self-standards, self-efficacy, affect, attitude, beliefs, norms, condom availability, health concern, worry about AIDS, construct availability and condom availability. The dependent variable was condom use on the last coital episode.

Full textThis study examines how families judge and choose high schools. The review of literature relating to school choice provides a theoretical framework for the study. The review includes an international perspective including both developed countries such as United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark, England and Wales, the Netherlands, Scotland and Sweden, and developing countries including India, Chile, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Mauritania, Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire and South Africa. The context within which school choice occurs in South Africa is examined. This context includes continued influence of Apartheid policies and current legislation including the South African Schools Act, The Admission Policy for Ordinary Schools Act and the Norms and Standards for Schools Funding. The literature review includes a critical analysis of the research, both Local and International, which addresses questions as to which factors are considered when judging and choosing schools, who makes the choice school, when the choice of school is made and which sources of information inform the choice of school. The empirical study examines the process of high school choice in urban Cape Town. The group areas Act and other Apartheid policies have created a situation where the respondents have a large number of high schools from which to chose. The selected area reflects diversity in Socio-Economic status, including both privately owned homes and council rental flats and houses. The study is limited to English medium or dual medium schools in the area. It includes both co-ed and single gender schools.

Full textThis study explored the strategies used by the School Management Team (SMT) in managing the late coming of learners in a Cape Town school in relation to the Department of Education policy on late coming of learners. The need for this study has its origin in the current difficulties the school is experiencing in managing late coming of learners despite the existence of the Department of Education’s policy on late coming. The data was collected from 7 members of the School Management Team, 3 parents and 3 learners from the school, and was collected using semi-structured interviews. Results firstly confirmed some of the findings from the literature concerning the causes of learners’ late coming which include transport, gangsterism, parents leaving their homes very early for work and child headed homes. The SMT members, learners and parents had limited knowledge of the Education Department’s policy on late coming and, more particularly, the circular on late coming, and this was found to be the main barrier for the school in managing the late coming of learners. The SMT was inadequately capacitated in dealing with the challenges of late coming. Poor communication between the parents and the teachers was also evident in the study. Finally, the study made a number of recommendations regarding how the school could manage its challenges on late coming of learners.

Full textThe rate at which the spread of human immunodeficiency virus/auto immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is increasing in the world has brought with it the realization that the disease is more complex and extensive than imagined. The alarming increase in the rate of infection combined with the fact that researchers have not found a cure has considerable socioeconomic implications. The peculiarity of HIV/AIDS, has caused almost all countries of the world to introduce different types of intervention programmes for the youth in order to reduce or eradicate the disease. South Africa, being one of the countries in the world that has the highest number of people living with HIV/AIDS, has introduced a Life Orientation Programme (LOP) into the school curriculum as a preventive measure. HIV/AIDS prevention programmes as part of the LOP are designed to increase the knowledge and skills of youths in order to adopt and maintain good sexual behaviours that can virtually eliminate the risks of becoming infected with the HIV. This study evaluates the effectiveness, efficiency, relevance and impact of LOP on the sexual behaviours of the learners in a high school in Cape Town. The study was motivated by the fact that, despite the introduction of different intervention and prevention programmes in high schools, there seems to be no significant reduction in the spread of HIV/AIDS among the youths. In order to make this evaluation worth the while, four instruments, (questionnaires, semistructured interviews, a classroom observation schedule and a test), were used in the study with the consent of the participants and the school authorities. The participants (the teachers and learners) were contacted independently by an educator who was introduced to me by the principal, so that the researcher would not influence the information provided.
