- Description
- This study investigates the management of English teaching to improve matriculation pass-rate in selected schools in the Engcobo District of the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The study has been circuits of the Engcobo district. Questionnaires were administered over a group of matriculants, English second language teachers and 8 school principals with a variety of questions and interviews on the causes of this failure problem. Based on the study it has been reared through collect data that some teachers have not been workshopped in the current curriculum (NCS) and this somehow affects the learners. Learners from rural areas have a problem in understanding English language. Lack of educational facilities like libraries also have a negative impact in learner’s progress. Learners who came from Junior Secondary Schools to High schools are not ready and this gives High School teachers a big task to mould them to be ready for matric. It is recommended that parental involvement is vital in their children’s education so as to see their progress and to develop the teacher-parent locomotives learners need to be engaged in Educational activities like debates, public speaking, conducting so as to improve their communication skills. Educators should give more writing and reading exercises to learners so as to minimize the number of learners who are unable to write in Matric.
