Thesis (MEd)--Stellenbosch University, 2014. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The purpose of this study was to investigate teachers‟ perception(s) of the relevance
of performance indicators for school improvement and development in Namibia. The
study employed a case study involving two school principals, two heads of
department (HODs) and five teachers. Interviews were used to collect the data. The
study found that almost all teachers acknowledge the importance of the PIs and
believe that they succeed in improving the provision of quality education if they are
properly implemented. The study also found that both school principals experience
many challenges with the implementation of these PIs. The analysis was framed by
interpretive theory as the study is exploratory. Performance indicators (PIs) have
become the yardstick by which internal and external school evaluators can assess
whole school performance.
The focus of this case study was on Grade 10 school performance in the Katima
Mulilo rural circuit and an urban secondary school in the Caprivi education region of
Namibia. Grade 10 is one of the school levels in which low academic performance
has been found to be common in the Caprivi region. The study included a literature
review of studies on performance indicators in different parts of the world. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMING: No Afrikaans abstract available
