EXAMINING PRINCIPALS’ OBSERVATIONS ON LEARNERS’ PROGRESSION IN SOUTH AFRICAN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

Wed, 13 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of the article was to examine principals’ observations on learner progressions in South African secondary schools. In attempting to understand this learning phenomenon, this article endeavors to understand principals’ observations on learner progressions in secondary schools. The research that underpinned this article adopted a qualitative approach, thereby employing semi-structured interviews as a means of data collection with secondary school principals in the rural areas of Limpopo and the North-West Provinces. The research undertaken adopted an interpretive paradigm in analysing the collected data. A proficient transcriber transcribed the audio-recorded interviews verbatim, and the researcher was provided with notes for interpreting the data. In relation to progressed learners, the interviewed secondary schools’ principals regard learner progression as a challenge to schools because it affects the school results throughout the year. Even though some progressed learners seem to be eager to work hard and improve their results, most of them have already lost hope in the pursuit of their academic career. School principals’ efforts to adjust to this policy do not yield positive results, and most of them wish that this progression policy should either be revised or be done away with. Principals have realized that some teachers are also demoralized by this fruitless departmental intervention, and their teaching progress is delayed by the progressed learners. Principals felt that they are trapped into this ever-challenging situation in such a way that they wish they could have been in a position of doing away with the progression policy.

CURRICULUM REFORM IN SOUTH AFRICAN HIGHER EDUCATION: EVALUATING POLICY EFFECTIVENESS AND INSTITUTIONAL RESPONSE

Haruna Maama — Thu, 21 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

There has been intense scrutiny about the design and delivery of curricular in South Africa higher education institutions. Various policies and laws have been established to ensure that the South African higher education contributes to the transformation agenda of the nation. This study contributes to this debate by examining how the South African higher education policies contributes to the transformation of curriculum to meet contemporary socioeconomic needs. The study employs a morphogenetic approach to explore how existing frameworks, such as the Higher Education Act of 1997 and the White Paper for Post-School Education and Training (2014), have shaped the curriculum design and implementation processes in South African universities. The paper begins by discussing the internationalisation of higher education curricula and highlights the need for graduates to develop global competencies. It further examines the role of the South African internationalisation policy in preparing students for the global economy. The research also addresses how policy gaps, such as the inadequate focus on decolonisation and the lack of alignment with the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), impact the effectiveness of curriculum transformation efforts. The findings reveal that despite numerous policy frameworks and strategic documents, there remains a disconnect between the goals of higher education policies and the practical realities of curriculum design and delivery. This disconnect contributes to the numerous challenges in the higher education sector, manifested through student protests and dissatisfaction with the relevance of academic programs. The paper concludes that a more nuanced approach to curriculum reform is necessary, one that bridges policy intentions with practical outcomes through continuous dialogue among universities, the government, and industry stakeholders.

THE LEGAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE DISSYNCHRONIZATION IN THE REGULATION OF RESTORATIVE JUSTICE WITHIN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM IN INDONESIA FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF LEGAL CERTAINTY

Dhia Fadlia, Prija Djatmika, Yuliati — Tue, 19 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

The regulation of restorative justice within the criminal justice system in Indonesia is currently governed by the respective law enforcement agencies, but it has not been codified in the Indonesian Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP), which can lead to legal uncertainty. Consequently, there are legal implications arising from the lack of synchronization in the regulation of restorative justice within Indonesia’s criminal justice system, particularly from the perspective of legal certainty. Therefore, this study aims to reconstruct the regulation of restorative justice to ensure legal certainty in the future. This research is a normative-juridical study utilizing both statutory and synchronic approaches. There are fundamental differences concerning the conditions and limitations of criminal acts as regulated by Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, Prosecutor's Regulation No. 15 of 2020, and Supreme Court Regulation No. 1 of 2024. The existing partial guidelines on restorative justice, particularly regarding the conditions set forth, are inconsistent and cause legal uncertainty in determining which cases may be eligible for restorative justice, especially those under the Police institution, where the criteria are considered overly broad. Thus, the differences in restorative justice regulations among the respective agencies lead to inconsistencies in the conditions and limitations of criminal acts, as well as confusion in the restorative justice process during the investigation and inquiry stages within the Police. There is a need for specific regulation on restorative justice to be incorporated into the Criminal Procedure Code (KUHAP) to avoid inconsistencies and legal uncertainty.
