Educators’ perceptions of barriers to learning in a Correctional Centre in the Western Cape region

Magister Educationis - MEd / In South Africa and elsewhere all correctional centres offer educational programmes today with
the aim of rehabilitating offenders by giving them the opportunity to further their studies and
to develop vocational skills. However, reports show that the dropout rate is very high.
This study thus explores educators’ perceptions of factors that hinder effective learning in
South African correctional centres. It also examines barriers and probes strategies with the aim
of finding out how deficiencies may be addressed. To this end the enquiry relied on a qualitative
approach using semi-structured interviews with eleven individual educators.
