The aim of this study was to determine how teachers experienced transformation in education and what the implications were for education management. The approach was qualitative, exploratory and descriptive. In a case study design six redeployed teachers from an ex-model C school were purposefully selected as sample. In-depth interviews were conducted with the teachers. Informal interviews and observation were also used to collect data. The results focussed on the teachers‟ views of transformation and their experiences of transformation policy and how it was managed; the financial implications of transformation and the impact thereof on the teachers. It was concluded that individual teachers experienced some aspects of transformation positively, for example promotion opportunities. Negative experiences were related to transformation that was enforced overhastily and did not consider all role players or prepare teachers well. Recommendations were made for managing transformation and for further study.
