The role of initiation schools in the identity formation of Southern Ndebele adolescent boys

This study investigates the role of initiation schools in the identity formation
of Southern Ndebele adolescent boys. The subsequent influence of initiation
schools on scholastic achievement was also researched.
A qualitative research method was used to give a scientific support to the
findings made in literature. Interviewing and interview schedules were
employed as data-collecting techniques. Interviews were conducted with 10
initiates from the Ndzundza and the Manala initiation schools.
The positive outcomes of this research can, however, not be generalised, but
rather indicate possible tendencies that initiation schools play a significant
role in the identity formation of Southern Ndebele adolescent boys. / Psychology of Education / M. Ed. (Psychology of Education)
