Abstract:

Thesis (MScEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis is a study in the use of precast modular construction as an alternative to current methods of school construction in South Africa. Precast Modular Construction is a concept which utilises the principles of prefabrication and precast concrete. Concrete components, be they beams, columns, slabs or full volumetric modules, are manufactured either off-site in factories or in on-site facilities. These components are then assembled on-site to form the structural envelope of a building. This approach contains many inhe

My concern is if or to what extend the transformational goals of access, redress, equality, quality, freedom and participation manifest itself in public high schools, particularly those schools from historically disadvantaged communities.

Abstract:

Intergroup conflicts are rife in public schools and often the bone of contention is promotional posts. These conflicts can affect the quality of teaching and learning if the focus of the teachers moves from the primary purpose of teaching to contesting senior posts. In addition, such contestation often splits the teaching staff into groups or factions. One such split is between the group made up of teachers belonging to the politically-aligned union and the group of teachers from non-politically aligned teacher unions or those not unionised at all.

In a country where the public education system is failing, the need for affordable, quality education has given rise to increased demand for low fee private schooling and has created opportunities for edupreneurs to establish new educational institutions (Brewer, 2011). Organisational ambidexterity has been found to ensure success and long-term performance (OÕReilly, 2013; Raisch et al., 2009). Low Fee Private Schools need, therefore, to adopt an ambidextrous strategic orientation to ensure long-term.

Abstract:

M. Tech. Architecture.<br>This thesis presents the design of a secondary school in the township of Emzinoni, Mpumalanga. The thesis challenges the current school building morphology in terms of spatial layout and tectonics, with the intent of providing multi-use facilities accessible to both the school pupils and the surrounding community. The selected site in Emzinoni, like many township areas in South Africa, is almost devoid of any civic or public buildings or services, just the endless sprawl of small residential units and shacks with the random school rising two storeys above the surround

M.Ed. (Multiculturalism and Education)<br>That we live in a very diverse multicultural society which is in the process of change is a reality. Education, as one of the social systems, needs to contribute to the establishment of sound intergroup relationships and eliminate the educational gap that exists within the south African society. To bring about this change we need a system which "will lead to recognising cultural values and differences among and between ethnic groups and individuals and will develop strategies that enhance communication, develop cross cultural understanding and awarenes

Abstract:

M.Ed.<br>Education in South Africa is in a process of transformation. The opening of public schools to all races has resulted in the exodus of learners from township to suburban schools. Parents have transferred their children because of, among other reasons, lack of culture of learning and teaching, lack of quality teaching, lack of resources, and violence in township schools.The movement of learners from township to suburban schools has necessitated a new management technique that will accommodate the unique characteristics of learners from diverse cultural, linguistic and socio-economic bac

Abstract:

M.Ed.<br>The last decade constituted a period of great discovery and change for education all over the country. This called for policies for transformational leadership. Kouznes and Posner(1995:130) indicates that "high policy - that is, major change in a society's sense of direction - is first shaped in an anchoate consensus reached by the people at large." The policies for effecting change in schools are drawn but the problem is: are those policies communicated well to the schools community and stakeholders, are they well understood, are they implemented effectively for the benefit of all in

M. Tech. Public Management Tshwane University of Technology<br>This study aims at making recommendations on how to improve the public financial management of secondary schools that were left unattended by the previous, apartheid-led, White government. According to South African School Act (SASA) (1996), no learner, especially of the mandatory school-going age, should ever have to encounter any financial or material difficulties to gain access to good-quality education.

Abstract:

The wide spread concerns on the access to quality education and the various challenges faced by the public school system in developing countries has promulgated the emergence of low-fee private schools that aim to meet the rising demands of access to quality education by making private schooling more affordable. The emergence of low-fee private schools is already evident in South Africa; these schools contribute to the education system by filling the gap where the public education system is lacking. It was based on this premise that a need for scaling-up this type of innovation in education wa
