Motivating the study was the perpetual implementation of mathematics interventions against the backdrop of persistent mediocrity in learner matriculation achievement in this subject. The essence of the research problem was the scarcity of knowledge relating to the effectiveness and impact of mathematics interventions. The strategy of inquiry employed was an explanatory research design which entailed a sequential collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data. Quantitative findings revealed that only 10% of learners who participated in interventions were enabled to enroll in mathematics essential to pursue mathematics related professions at tertiary level. Thus, the intention to redress the prevalent limited access to professional careers requiring a strong basis in mathematics has not been dented. Regarding learner performance in mathematics, Friedman tests for nonparametric hypothesis testing revealed that there was no significant evidence that the interventions had an impact on learner performance over the five year observation period. Qualitative data analysis explained the quantitative findings and further uncovered the positive impact of mathematics interventions. Furthermore, strengths and weaknesses of the mathematics interventions were identified as opposed to the quantitative findings which seemed to negate the existence of the impact of mathematics interventions. Through the findings of this study, factors that may be limiting the effectiveness of mathematics interventions were uncovered. These were interwoven into a base knowledge that can influence positive practices and future research related to optimizing the impact of mathematics interventions in high schools. iii KEY TERMS Impact Mathematics Mathematics interventions High schools Adolescent learners Mathematics learner participation Mathematics learner performance iv ACRONYMS ATDQT Ability to Do Quantitative Thinking CASE Cognitive Acceleration Through Science Education CDE Centre for Development Enterprise CMP Connected Mathematics Project CPMP Core-Plus Mathematics Project CSR Comprehensive School Reform CSRI Comprehensive School Reform Interventions EMIS Education Management Information Systems HG Higher Grade IE Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment 1M Integrated Mathematics K-12 MCC K-12 Mathematics Curriculum Centre MEP Mathematics Education Project MiC Mathematics in Context NCS National Curriculum statements NAEP National Assessment of Educational Progress NCTM National Council of Teachers of Mathematics NGO Non Governmental Organisation OBE Outcomes Based Education PROTEC Programme for Technological Careers RADMASTE Research and Development in Mathematics, Science and Technology Education RME Realistic Mathematics Education SG Standard Grade SIMMS Initiative for Montana Mathematics and Science STATKON Statistical Consultation Services SUPEDI Supplementary Education Programme ,SYSTEM Students and Youth into Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics v TIMSS Third International Mathematics and Science Study TOPS Teacher Opportunity Programme WWC What Works Clearinghouse vi DEDICATION This project is dedicated to the ever shining STARS in my life: my mother Ruth Mkhize (MaSthole) and my bother Sfiso Ignatius Mkhize.

  • Sports Report 2019
    Greenside High School Sports highlights and achievements 2019. Greenside High School believes strongly in the Nelson Mandela quote that says: “Sport has the power to change the world; it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to the youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the faces of all types of discrimination. Sport is a game of lovers.” We are truly grateful as a school that our learners are exposed to 13 sporting codes and many see themselves having career opportunities in the respective sporting codes that we offer at our school. Even though we were faced with a few challenges in the year, we have also developed and our perspectives and goals have broadened. We would like to celebrate the achievements of our learners this far in all respective codes. SPORTS HIGHLIGHTS AND ACHIEVEMNTS 2019 | s Rugby The focus in every year is to introduce the girls to appropriate technique and develop a safe and competitive environment. They had a very successful league competing with 12 schools and the U16 girls being undefeated in 2019 and our U18 only losing 1 friendly game. Almost all the girls both u16 and u18s were invited to the National Rugby Week trials. Two senior girls unfortunately did not make it in the last trials and three players were chosen for the u18 National Week Team.

  • Quarterly Report January to March 2019
    Quarterly Report January to March 2019 REPORT ON CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE AND EXPLOITATION The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently released a report on child sexual abuse and exploitation, based on a study of the approach which 40 countries took to such offences. South Africa was one of the countries included in the study. It ranked 15th out of 40 for its measures to protect children against sexual abuse and exploitation, according to an index the EIU developed. We can, and we must, protect children from all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation in all settings. Children deserve nothing less. Here are 10 things that emerged from the report, titled Out of the Shadows. 1) Just over half (21) of the 40 countries analysed have legal protections for boys within their child rape laws. 868 Children 2) Sexual abuse is happening everywhere, regardless of a assisted country's socio-economic status or its citizens' quality of life. 3) Sexual abuse is increasingly enabled by the internet but at the FOR FREE same time, an experimental internet program is "crawling" the web to find abusive and exploitative images of children to have Jan to March them reported and removed. 4) Children with disabilities, those displaced through trafficking or forced migration, those living in care institutions and those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender can be especially vulnerable. 5) At household and community level, chaotic lifestyles resulting from neglect, alcohol and substance abuse are linked to most forms of violence against and among children. 1 6) The absence of protective relationships and environments are factors that are often predictive of sexual violence against children across cultures.
