We experimentally compare on-site with virtual coaching of South African teachers. After three years, on-site coaching improved students’ English oral language and reading proficiency by 0.31 and 0.13 SD, respectively. Virtual coaching improved English oral language proficiency (0.12 SD), had no impact on English reading proficiency, and an unintended negative effect on home language literacy. Classroom observations show that on-site coaching improved teaching practice and that virtual coaching...

Despite the need to improve the quantity and quality of psychiatry training in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), very little is known about the experiences of psychiatric trainees in the region. This is the first study examining psychiatric trainees in a low-income country in SSA. It was carried out as part of the needs assessment for a unique Medical Education Partnership Initiative (MEPI) programme to find African solutions for medical shortages in Africa. We approached all doctors who had trained...

Employers in South Africa are calling for students graduating from higher education institutions (HEIs) to exhibit the capacity for reflection. However, many tertiary institutions fall short in allowing opportunities for reflection. As a result, HEIs are grappling to find ways of fostering reflection amongst their students. This paper argues that digital storytelling if implemented properly is one of the ways which can be used to help HEIs in this accomplishment. It documents results of...

In this time of the Covid-19 pandemic and school closures, we need to plan and strategise creatively so that ALL South African children – not just those with access to digital devices, data, and network coverage – can continue to learn.

In the resource-constrained South African education sector, infrastructure which is considered as temporary or backup in other countries is used as permanent classrooms, primarily but not exclusively in lower-income areas. Children’s cognitive performance and comfort are directly impacted by indoor air quality. Temperature, relative humidity, particulate matter and CO2 levels, substantial determinants of air quality, have not been studied across different classroom types. We measure these...

The motivation for the development of corporate governance codes in South Africa was to ensure that companies and other organisations are managed so as to ensure ethical leadership, accountability, transparency and sustainability of these organisations. However, observers of the South African Corporate environment noted that the development of King I code of corporate governance was particularly focused on corporate bodies and not to other organisations. In order to address this imbalance...

Structured learning programmes have emerged as a promising way to address the low learning levels observed in many developing countries. The delivery model of these programmes matters, and on-site teacher coaching has been recommended to be highly effective, especially in early grade literacy. In this paper, we report on a series of government-led randomised experiments in South African primary schools that build on each other to test various models of teacher training and coaching. We find...

This thesis reports on a study that investigated the role of public libraries in addressing the digital divide in South Africa. The study started in 2006. This study addressed the main research question: "How should a theoretical model look for South African public libraries to contribute to bridging the digital divide?" The central research problem was further addressed by asking the following questions: • What are the scope and implications of the digital divide? (These include the meaning...

What are the real roots of the student protests of 2015 and 2016? Is it actually about fees? Why did the protests turn violent? Where is the government while the buildings burn? Former Free State University vice-chancellor Jonathan Jansen delves into the unprecedented disruption of universities that caught South Africa by surprise. In frank interviews with eleven of the VCs most affected, he examines the forces at work, why the protests escalate into chaos, and what is driving – and...
