Summary

South African schools, particularly in disadvantaged communities, are still challenged to cope with the realities of poverty. Teachers are probably in a position to influence their learners and the communities towards positive action. This book is based on a research project initiated by the authors in the Motherwell Township of Port Elizabeth.
