The focus of this study is the relevance and effectiveness of the support structures available
to high school learners with substance abuse problems. This research was confined to
learners in Eersterust, a township situated to the east of Pretoria. Substance abuse,
especially among high school learners in South Africa and in Eersterust, has increased in
recent years. Substance abuse obviously poses a major barrier to learning. Along with poor
academic motivation, this problem seriously interferes with learners’ academic performance
and results in lower educational achievement. As an institution, the school is not
able to provide support to these learners and so is obliged to link them with support
structures such as the South African National Council on Alcoholism and Drug
Dependance (SANCA) and the National Youth Development Outreach (NYDO). / Inclusive Education / M. Ed. (Inclusive Education)
