There is a commitment in South Africa to improve the quality of education. One way to achieve this is to ensure that teachers and children are in school and in class. This research, commissioned by the Department of Basic Education, investigated the extent, patterns, reasons, the recording of leave, and the administration and management of educator leave. The results of the study will be made available at this event.
