Thesis (MEd (Educational Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2009.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The HIV/AIDS pandemic presents many challenges to education in South Africa. The National Department of Education declared itself a central player in addressing the many challenges presented by HIV/AIDS. An important challenge relates to an increase in learners that experience barriers to learning and development in schools and classrooms. Education White Paper 6 of 2001 (Department of Education, 2001) emphasised that the implementation of inclusive education in schools should take the incidence

Abstract:

The increase in teenage pregnancy among school going learners is reported in the media as a crisis. Politicians and other stakeholders have also raised their views and concerns about pregnancy. In particular, these views and concerns perceive teenage pregnancy among school going learners as a cancer that needs a remedy because it has negative consequences for the learners, in particular the girl child. However, for all the sense of public crisis concerning sexuality and schooling, the voices of young people themselves regarding their own sexual subjectivity are seldom heard. This study focused

Abstract:

Research reveals that the level as well as the quality of education plays a role in the determination of an individual's intellectual capacity. Substantial differences in quality of education for black and white individuals were experienced in South Africa due to Apartheid. Compared to the traditionally white Private and Model C schools, Township/ DET schools had limited resources, as well as a separate syllabus and examination system, a situation that has not improved substantially since democratisation in 1994.

The education system was caught in the web of a political spider spun by the dictates of the apartheid system.

Measures have been taken to eradicate inequalities of the past and to make education accessible to all. This development has given rise to a situation in some schools where the cultural background of the teacher differs entirely from that of the schoolbeginner or pupil. More and more schools are being affected by this situation and the problems arising from this tend to impede effective learning and interaction. The aim of t
