Abstract:
|
Educators are in the “coal-front” of teaching and learning in all schools and they therefore are key in curriculum delivery.
They are at the level that drives the direction of education in terms of quality production. They are however less considered in
departmental strategic planning sessions, the fora that gives the strategic direction education has to take. This leaves them with hard work
to teach and develop the learners but not aware of the strategic vision, mission and goals of the education sector. This is despite that they
have to be capacitated with government priorities related to education in each period of an administration as part of them changing with
the Medium term strategic Frame Works (MTSF). This qualitative study used data collected from secondary sources, interviews and
observations and realised that in many ways educators are not guided by priorities of government and the department in line with the
MTSF as they are mostly denied opportunity to be engaged in effective levels of strategic planning. This has impact on quality of
education received by the learners in particular responding to the socio-economic needs in their country. It creates disparities between the
hard work educators do in classes and the expected impact. The study recommend that the educators are prioritized in terms of becoming
active participants of during strategic planning in their departments. |
