Learner experiences of safety at public high schools in three South African townships: Baseline findings from the National School Safety Framework learner surveys

Background Despite progressive policies and frameworks on school safety by the Department of Basic Education, safety remains a concern in South African schools. Methods A cross-sectional descriptive design was employed using the National School Safety Framework (NSSF) 152-question learner survey, exploring perceptions and experiences pertaining to eight safety domains: dangerous objects, drugs and alcohol, bullying, verbal abuse, physical violence, discrimination, sexual violence, and journey to and from school. Grade 9-11 learners from 15 government-funded high schools in the Girls Achieve Power trial in Khayelitsha, Soweto, and Thembisa townships were surveyed (March 2018 - April 2019), sampling 10% of the school population. Data analysis included Principal Component Analysis (PCA), reducing correlated variables into fewer questions, then analysis on a scree plot by calculating eigenvalues; repeated PCA with those that had a minimum eigenvalue of 1 and Cronbach Alpha test for internal reliability. Eleven composite variables were included in the final analysis. Results In total, 1034 learners completed the NSSF learner survey; 52.9% were female and the mean age was 16 years (SD=1.36). Results show statistically significant associations between four of the 11 composite variables in relation to sex. Over half (55%) of males have experienced peer provocation and relational aggression (p<0.001). Fifty-eight percent of females reported feeling unsafe on their way to and from school (p<0.003). Over half of males reported that their school was not effective in enforcing discipline (p=0.002) while 58% of females noted they could comfortably report any form of experienced or witnessed violence at school, to their educators (p<0.000). Conclusions Violence continues to be a concern in South African schools. Interventions should work across the ecological model to effectively prevent and reduce violence at school and community levels. Strengthened NSSF implementation is critical to achieving this. We recommend NSSF learner survey adaptations to increase utility and implementation.

Factors Affecting the Intention to Study a Master's Degree Abroad of Vietnamese Students and Recommendations

Recently, there has been an annual increase in the number of masters in Vietnam. In contrast, universities in Vietnam do not recruit enough master's students to meet the set goals. This is due, in part, to the fact that students frequently pursue master's degrees abroad. This study aimed to determine the factors influencing students' intentions to pursue a master's degree abroad in engineering and economics. The proposed research model is based on Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) (1991), developed from the previous Theory of Reasoned Action in 1975, and incorporates related studies. This model includes the factors that influence the intention to study for a master's degree—attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, communication, reasonable cost, and career opportunities—and the factors that influence the attitude to study for a master's degree. 434 valid samples for analysis, conducted several methods, including Cronbach's Alpha test, EFA, CFA, and SEM, to affirm the reliability of the measurement scale and the appropriateness of the variables in the research model. Based on the research results, we identify the influencing factors that underlie the article's recommendations.
