Abstract
The focus of this study is on the exploration and description of the teachers’ perceptions regarding retirement in Gauteng schools. As a result of qualitative research method through literature review and interviews which were used in collecting data from the teachers as participants, the results revealed that teachers from the sample size are aware of their retirement times. But this came with mixed perceptions of what to expect and the level of readiness differed, due to lack of informed guideline, including anything that prepares them for their retirement. Based on the above results, it can thus be recommended that the Department of Education in South Africa, should conduct yearly workshops to make teachers aware of what retirement entails. This will help teachers to prepare themselves in advance for retirement.
