This study focuses on the role of school managers in addressing challenges associated with the
implementation of continuous assessment (CASS) in the Further Education and Training (FET)
band in Mopani District. It furthermore investigates to what degree school managers in the
district engage in performing the “traditional” leadership and management roles which create a
conducive atmosphere for the implementation of CASS.
A thorough literature review provides an understanding of the emerging trends and challenges in
the implementation of CASS internationally. Most of these challenges are analogous with those
constraining the implementation of CASS in Mopani District. The data were collected by means
of semi-structured interviews and questionnaires from purposively sampled district educators and
school management teams (SMTs) who came from randomly selected schools. The findings
enumerated the insufficient training for school managers and infrequency of performing
“traditional” leadership and management roles as some of the factors hampering the
implementation of CASS in the district schools. / Educational Studies / M. Ed (Education Management)
