Our present day South African education system lies in great turmoil for a variety of
reasons. The main reason being that there exists a great shortage of skilled educators
required to implement Curriculum 2005 and Outcomes Based Education effectively
and efficiently. Thus, it is alternate forms of re-skilling via the use of appropriate
resources, namely, distance education, the internet, educational television, newspapers
and cluster workshops that could bring adequate "re-skilling" to the thousands of
teachers who can positively implement a new, revised and streamlined curriculum by
June 2001.
This study aims to prove that it is these types of on-going teacher-support and the use
of educational technology at various levels that will ultimately lead to improving the
teaching and learning processes. This study could assist the various stakeholders in
the education field to formulate policies that would assist in providing the necessary
resources, support and re-skilling necessary for the thousands of unprepared South
African teachers who are presently experiencing difficulties in implementing this new
education system. / Thesis (M.Ed.)-University of Durban-Westville, 2001.
