School readiness is a stage in a child's development when he
learns easily and effectively. A child who is not yet ready for
school on school entry is already at a disadvantage in the formal
learning situation. This in itself can affect his school
performance in the later years. The researcher, being a primary
school teacher noticed that the children from the informal
settlements that had no pre-school intervention arrived at school
unready to learn.
This investigation set out to evaluate the school readiness of
children from an informal settlement without a pre-school
programme. The school readiness of these children were compared
against children from an informal settlement with a pre-school
programme. Test and questionnaires were used to determine the
five year olds' school readiness. The researcher used the
idiographic method of research.
The findings of the research were based on the interpretations
of the tests and questionnaires. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (with specialisation in Guidance and Counselling)
