The education system in South Africa had undergone
many changes, but the culture of teaching and
learning in many disadvantaged schools has continued
to decline. Surprisingly enough, various authors had
also voiced similar concern about the collapse of a
culture of teaching and learning in schools long
before the democratic elections. For example, most
potential learners had dropped out of schools
because of the collapse of a culture of teaching due
to over-crowding in classrooms, under-qualified and
un-qualified teachers, poor instruction, insufficient
resources, lack of
discipline, bad role models and irrelevant
curriculum which demotivate teachers.This ,therefore
became a debatable and complex issue hence is on the
lips of every teacher, parent, learner, government
official and relevant stakeholder.
