Abstract:

The fundamental aim of the study was to investigate the extent to which supervision of programmes in the FET band were geared towards TQE. The study systematically investigated the issue of TQE in selected schools in KZN province, South Africa. Chapter one introduced the problem and briefly outlined the research procedures that were followed in investigating the problem. This was followed by a theoretical enquiry into the problem, highlighting what other people have said about TQM, TQE and supervision. This problem was brainstormed on how it could be resolved by reviewing literature in chapter

Environmental Education (EE) as a development cannot be ignored by Geography or Geographers particularly since South Africa, as the rest of the world, is confronted by a looming environmental crisis.

Geography has a vital role to play in addressing environmental issues. In formal education Geography teachers will be responsible for the implementation of such an approach. This study t
