Unequal educational opportunities stem from the unfair handling of disciplinary matters. The research aimed to explore measures that school principals and disciplinary committee members take to safeguard learner rights during disciplinary hearings, to assess the School Governing Body's policy comprehension, and to probe into factors leading to learner rights breaches in disciplinary scenarios. A qualitative methodology and case study design were employed, equipping the researcher with the tools necessary to achieve the study's objectives. Purposive sampling was utilised to select four secondary school principals, disciplinary committee members, and Representative Council of Learners representatives in the Sekgosese Central Circuit as participants. Data were gathered through face-to-face semi-structured interviews, with content analysis deciphering the collected information. The study revealed that schools inadequately communicate the Code of Conduct to learners and parents, and some even misuse it to screen admissions. RCL members and class representatives are improperly engaged in investigating misconduct, and their findings are directly used to make disciplinary tribunal decisions. Moreover, during disciplinary hearings, parents lack proper guidance on defending their children against unjust treatment. SGB members are sometimes unjustly excluded from sensitive cases. Lastly, inconsistencies were found in the suspension periods assigned across different schools. Dissertation 2025-02-27T00:00:00Z
