The practices of inclusive education in Grade R, Nylstroom circuit, LimpopoSambo, Tinyiko Florence 01 1900 (has links)
The Early Childhood Development (ECD) policy of White Paper 5 protects the
development right of children and to learn at an early age. In line with this, the
Inclusive Education (IE) policy of White Paper 6 (2001) acknowledges that all
children hold the potential of learning within all bands of education and they all
require support. The purpose of this research was to investigate the practices of
Inclusive Education in mainstream schools in Grade R, Nylstroom circuit, Limpopo in
South Africa. Practicing IE in Grade R classes has become a challenge because
teachers have to identify different strategies so as to accommodate the diverse
needs of all learners. According to the Department of Education (2010:22) practicing
IE needs a teacher with knowledge and skills to be able to adapt the curriculum and
use differentiated strategies to accommodate the diverse needs of all learners. Most
practitioners and teachers have not been trained to teach in IE classes; hence they
experience challenges of accommodating the diverse needs of all learners. Even
though mainstream schools with Grade R classes are being encouraged to practice
Inclusive Education, learners are not receiving the education based on their
educational needs. Based on the assumption that challenges may be caused by the
education system and other related factors, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems
theory and the qualitative research design were used in this study to explore the
practices of IE in selected Grade R classes in primary schools, with nine teachers
being interviewed and observed. Yin’s method of data analysis was applied and
factors affecting the practices of IE in Grade R were highlighted. The following
factors were identified: curriculum policy factor, classroom factors, parents’
involvement and collaboration with NGOs and health professionals, teaching
strategies, education matters and resources. It was recommended that Grade R
teachers needs to be trained in inclusive practices so that they can respond
appropriately to the learners’ needs. The involvement and support of parents should
be encouraged in the education of young learners so that learners could succeed in
their academic careers. / Inclusive Education / M. Ed. (Inclusive Education)

The challenges faced by managers in managing community projects in Modimolle local Municipality of Limpopo ProvinceMashangwane, Maruping Ephraim January 2013 (has links)
Thesis (M.DEV.) --University of Limpopo, 2013 / Recent changes in Modimolle Local Municipality have placed new external pressures
and challenges on project managers change their ways of managing community
projects in their sphere of operation. The above challenges had necessitated the researcher to investigate the challenges
faced by managers in managing community projects in Modimolle Local Municipality of
Limpopo Province. The management of community projects in Modimolle Local Municipality is fraught with
challenges such as financial resources, lack of focus on economic development,
improvement of livelihood, community participation, sustainability, delegation and also
not adhering to Public Financial Management Act and Municipal Financial Management
Act. To understand the total context of the challenges faced by managers in managing
community projects, an in-depth study of this problem was done by means of relevant
literature review, empirical study and variety of other suitable research techniques. Data
was collected by means of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews, from project
managers who had an experience of community work in the area of the study. The studies have revealed that the management of community projects is not
determined by one factor. It emerged that there are various factors that prohibit
managers to manage community projects in their sphere of operation, hence the
recommendations for improvement stated in chapter five.

Monitoring and modelling of water quality characteristics along a reticulation system: a case study of modimolle reticulation networkMehlo, Mahlomola 01 1900 (has links)
M. Tech. (Department of Civil Engineering and Building, Faculty of Engineering and Technology), Vaal University of Technology. / Potable water quality can deteriorate immensely from point of treatment to point of usage. This
change in quality along a bulk distribution main may be attributed to numerous factors, such as
the ingress of storm water. Furthermore, water utilities experience challenges in terms of the
microbiological organisms that are not attributed to operational practices. For example, drinking
water bulk distribution mains may be a shelter for these microorganisms that are sustained by
organic and inorganic nutrients present within the pipe itself. These microorganisms may be
active in the water being transported by the pipe, and can cause a significant drop in the water
quality. In order to deal with the problem of deteriorating water quality, sufficient information
within the bulk main is required, so that the consumer can be protected from ingesting
contaminated water or water of poor quality. Hence, the overall objective of this study was to
investigate and model water quality characteristics within the Modimolle reticulation network.
Water samples were collected from various points throughout the entire system for quality
analysis. Different sampling points were established along the main pipeline as well as within the
Modimolle distribution system. Water quality software, EPANET, was then used to model the
water quality deterioration for both the bulk line and the reticulation network of Modimolle
extension 11. Residual chlorine was the main parameter which was monitored. This study
presents results of a research on water quality variation within a long distribution mains
conveying water up to 87 km. Results show that raw residual chlorine is constantly depleted
along the pipeline, and is therefore unable to be maintained at the required level of 0.2 mg/l, as
stipulated by the Department of Water Affairs. This means that if any harmful contaminants
should enter the water, the residual chlorine in the water will not be able to protect the consumers
from the contaminants.
