Thesis (M.Ed.) -- University of Limpopo, 2012 / The purpose of this study was to look at the experiences, trainings, resources,
benefits and challenges faced by schools in the implementation of the Integrated
Quality Management System (IQMS) in the primary schools of the Nkowankowa
Circuit at the Mopani District of Limpopo Province. As a result, the researcher was
motivated to conduct a study on this topic.
The scope of the research was restricted to two primary schools in the circuit. The
government officials, principals, school development teams and educators had to
respond to the questions asked during the interview between the researcher and the
participants. Thus, the research methodology was qualitative in which a case study
design was used. The sampling strategy was non-probability which led to purposive
sampling to schools and participants. Data were collected through interviews,
observations and documents and were analysed using the spiral steps of Creswell
(2007).
The findings of this study were that training was inadequate to the implementers.
The support given by the Department was not enough. The resources at schools
were lacking, hence little benefit by educators since IQMS started. The results
showed disclosed that the majority of the participants feel that many things still
have to be done for the effective implementation of IQMS, and all role players in
schools need to join hands and assist one another. That is why there were lot of
challenges which schools are encountering. This will give schools new shapes and
performance in general will improve. Therefore, IQMS is partially implemented
