Summary

Introduction

The UNESCO (2014) ‘Teaching and Learning: achieving quality for all’ report states that despite remarkable improvements in access to education over the past decade, the disadvantaged are the most likely to be affected. This may be as a result of insufficient numbers of trained teachers, overstretched infrastructure and inadequate materials. In South Africa, Van der Berg et al (2013) study declares that there has been a noticeable increase of the provision of Grade R places in public and independent schools, there has been little impact on the poorest schools in South Africa. As in the UNESCO report, Van der Berg et al (2013) found that the poor quality of Grade R education may be because of an unsupportive framework, unavailability of good teachers and a lack of parental support
