Probing the level of support schools receive from education districts: a case study of Limpopo Province, South Africa
Abstract
Poorly managed schools are characterized by levels of poor performance. There are also challenges of acts of violence in schools around the whole country in South Africa which also at times attributed to ineffective management in schools. These are mostly depicted in media with special focus on social media. They range from educators and learners involved in physical fights to the disregard of rules by both educators and learners. Some parents also use schools as battle grounds when fighting for other needs that are not even education related.1 The 2018 Limpopo Annual statistics report2 indicated that although number of learners falling pregnant has dropped in 2017, a total of 384 fell pregnant. This is attributed to different reasons including learners having affairs with educators.
