The UNAIDS report on the global AIDS epidemic (2010:9-11), stated that for the
estimated 33.3 million people living with HIV, sub-Saharan Africa has a staggering 22
500 000: South Africa having the highest figure of 5 600 000.
The question arises: Why has HIV/AIDS spread faster in Africa than on any other
continent, despite similar international strategies? The challenge in Africa is that
several HIV/AIDS beliefs and misconceptions distorting management of HIV/AIDS.
South African learners receive HIV/AIDS education from the school culture, community,
government and the international community, whereas they should be partners in
collaborative education: yet, they are not.
The research finding indicated that for effective educational strategies, education
managers should be aware of these different voices affecting HIV/AIDS education.
Education managers should be the main voice in dealing with this menacing epidemic. Countries that have approached HIV/AIDS scientifically and speak with one voice
successfully reduced their HIV/AIDS statistics. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)
