- Description: M.Ed. , The research essay was an attempt to attend to the problems faced by foundation phase pupils on sanitation. This was to explore through in-depth interviews the pupils' sanitation experiences and facilities at home and those available at the schools, and to find whether they impact on the pupils' effective usage of these facilities at school. A conclusion was reached that it was found necessary to involve parents and the general communities in the education of pupils in order to improve their sanitation usage. This could be achieved through community education that addresses the needs of communities. This community education will keep communities abreast with the changing world. This will mean involving everyone in planning and designing the programmes relevant to the community needs. Everyone should see himself/herself having a role to play in bringing about changes that could lead to a better and healthier lifestyle.

- Description: M.Ed. , This study dealt with teachers views on the core-plus curriculum. The core-plus curriculum is sensitive to the needs of the individual communities, and looks into the role that schools and teachers can play in addressing these needs. Its important role is to bridge the gap between what happens at home and what is happening in schools. It aims at fostering and promoting this relationship in a mutual way, i.e. the school should benefit the community and the community should benefit from the school as well. This kind of curriculum in fact enables the school to operate beyond its physical boundaries. New insights were gained into teachers' perceptions about the community and the parents of the learners. An insight into the roles that the teachers, the parents, and the learners can play in closing the gap between the school and home was gained. An important contribution of the study is that, it gives an insight into the teachers' sources of frustration and it gives more information on what are teachers' views about themselves, and their work.
