Abstract

This paper explores the ramifications of rationalisation and redeployment policy as principals implement it in public schools. The research involved interviewing nine principals as managers of the rationalisation and redeployment process. Data for this study was collected using semi-structured interviews and document reviews. Data analysis and synthesis generated several themes that were presented thematically through content analysis. The findings indicate that, on occasion, teachers who lack the necessary skills to meet the expectations of their profession are often assigned unqualified educators through rationalisation. The presence of ineffectual educators can have an adverse impact on educational outcomes, particularly disadvantaging underprivileged learners who are left without an educator because of educators' reluctance to relocate.

Abstract

Foreign language teaching has moved from an approach focusing on analysing a language, like Grammar Translation Method, to an approach focusing on using language, such as Communicative Language Teaching. However, arguably, the teaching of oral skills in language classrooms does not seem to have an important role because of the higher status of written language and a lack of knowledge of how to teach speaking. Besides, the current scenario is that the teaching of oral skills is more pronounced in the earliest grades to Grade 6, perhaps because the emphasis and the weighting for listening and speaking from Grades 7 onwards are lower than those of the writing skills in South Africa. Debatably, not much research has been conducted to find out why learners in the Further Education and Training (FET) phase in South Africa battle with oral tasks, particularly speaking skills, which are also mandatory in an English first additional language (EFAL) context. This qualitative study, which involved 6 teachers in the FET phase in South Africa, that is, Grades 10-12 EFAL teachers, aimed to explore the challenges to teaching speaking skills in EFAL classrooms in the FET phase in South Africa and to identify solutions to the challenges to teaching speaking skills in an EFAL classroom in the FET phase in South Africa. Telephonic interviews were conducted to collect data. The findings revealed that if oral production is excluded from tests, EFAL teachers in the FET phase in South Africa might not want to use their precious class time for oral production but instead teach to the test and prioritise other language skills and aspects such as writing and comprehension and visual literacy. Moreover, the EFAL teacher might not be well-informed about the strategies that can be used to teach speaking skills to EFAL learners in the FET phase.

Abstract

In recent years, as the concept of social responsibility has been ingrained in our language, commercial companies have faced increasing demands to take accountability for the environments in which they operate. The aim of this research is to assess the influence of social responsibility for businesses on the growth of local communities. The quantitative approach was used to gather the primary data. In the Northern part of KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) province, certain locations of Richards Bay were the site of data collection. There were 129 participants in the sample who were community members. The research's dependability data was determined to be significant in 0.782. The findings show that most participants think they acquire several advantages from doing business with a local business. The results also show that investments in social technological advances, building capacity, contracting and business possibilities, and employment creation are among the advantages. The exploratory and quantitative character of the research places limitations on its findings. It is advisable to use caution when making generalisations and to do more research with bigger samples and to consider the perspectives of other provinces.

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to conceptually analyse and demonstrate the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention in the University of Limpopo. It argues that the development of solar panels as a strategy for the University of Limpopo can increase and reduce criminal incidents, and for the campus to save costs and supply renewable energy sources to the community of Mankweng. Crime in South Africa has been an issue of contention in institutions of higher learning, businesses, and the society at large. This article examines the factors behind the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention, role of solar panels in crime deterrence and implementation of solar panels influences safety and control. Furthermore, the paper underscores the potential outcomes of this trend on student-staff safety and the environment. The concern is great deal on criminal incidents within the University of Limpopo that occur at night during loadshedding. This leads to robbery, break-ins, rape and other criminal activities that occurs at night during power cuts. As a result, it is not a shock that most students on campus struggle to keep up with their academic workload during loadshedding at night and leaves student accommodation vulnerable in dark hours. It is evident that solar panels offer a clean and abundant source of power. This is a conceptual paper that depends heavily on qualitative approach to conceptually demonstrate the implications of solar panels towards crime prevention in the University of Limpopo which ultimately threatens student-staff safety. Hence, this paper recommends that the installation of solar panels in all institutions of higher learning would ultimately assist in curbing some of the criminal elements not only in the University of Limpopo.

Abstract

Learning English is a mandatory subject and must be followed from elementary school to university level in accordance with the ongoing training plan in Indonesia. Students have difficulty mastering a new language, especially English, and teachers who are not native English speakers make it difficult for students to master it. As a result, some of the examples presented may be due to human error. It is accepted that changing English language learning through learning media will reduce weaknesses, difficulties in understanding learning and reduce human errors. This procedure includes media as an instrument to develop learning, one of which is through games, slides and interesting pictures. According to the instructions at each level of learning, this technique further develops learning for students. Apart from that, students are also enthusiastic about learning, can make coordinated efforts more easily between students, the environment and reality and are enthusiastic about progressing independently according to their respective abilities and interests.

Abstract

Suicide rates among adolescents and youth are increasing regardless of the interventions to lower the risks. Therefore, preventing suicides at institutions of higher learning is a top concern for public mental health. This paper explores strategies that may be adopted to reduce suicidal thoughts among students in South Africa. The study analysed previously published data on student suicide at institutions of higher learning. Purposive sampling technique was used by the researchers to collect secondary data from various research platforms that were specifically focused on the topic at hand. The following databases were utilized because they offer multi- and interdisciplinary scholarly literature: Google Scholar, Jstor, EbscoHost, Proquest, Scopus, and Sabinet. This review highlight that there are a variety of causes for students' suicidal thoughts, and these causes are individualised. Suicide prevention strategies such as gatekeeper training programs for suicidal behaviours, implementation of suicide prevention awareness programs within campuses, digitalisation of the programs, counselling and psychotherapy are some of the strategies that universities can adopt to reduce the suicidal thoughts among students. Given the complexity of suicide, prevention must be done with extreme prudence and urgency. The more the complexity of the suicide process is understood, the more the need for consistent, significant efforts to empirically support and evaluate the prevention strategies. It is therefore imperative to implement comprehensive and multi-sector preventative programs in order to minimize these risk factors and enhance protective variables to the greatest extent possible.

Abstract

With its significant rural population, South Africa faces pressing water challenges, including shortages, ecological degradation, and pollution. These challenges are particularly problematic in rural areas due to infrastructure deficits, weak municipal finances, and low-density settlement patterns. In this context, springs are a crucial water resource for communities. This paper reports on a study to identify existing governance structures and processes for groundwater management. The study also investigated the vulnerabilities of communities dependent on groundwater for their water supply. It explored rural communities’ adaptation strategies to ensure equitable, inclusive, and sustainable groundwater availability and management outcomes. The study focused on the Okhahlamba Local Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal and the Matatiele Local Municipality in the Eastern Cape. A pragmatic paradigm, which incorporates both qualitative and quantitative approaches to yield robust insights, was employed in the research. The study highlighted the role of land practices, invasive alien plant species, and waste disposal practices in determining water quality. The study found that the municipalities in the study area lack adequate spring protection strategies. Traditional leaders were found to play a crucial role in rural landscape governance. Springs hold socio-cultural significance beyond water provision, emphasising the need for holistic approaches to spring protection. Innovative strategies are needed to address the evolving challenges to groundwater supply while ensuring cultural sensitivity, improved governance, and sustainable groundwater management practices. A multifaceted approach is recommended to enhance groundwater management and spring protection in rural areas, such as integrating spring protection plans into municipal Integrated Development Plans (IDPs). It is vital that continuous coordination and collaboration with all stakeholders, including traditional leaders and NGOs, be established to accommodate the cultural dimensions of community use of local springs.
