- Description
- The problem of education in South Africa is neither specialization nor broad education. It is adopting the most suitable curriculum for the improvement of educational provision and increasing the ability to adjust to a constantly changing and evolving economic environment. The curriculum of commercial subjects is appropriate for the overall transformation of the South African society because it holds the progressive development of business and entrepreneurial advancement, thereby pepping up industrial and economic development. The intensity and expectations from schools in terms of good results had been so high that since the advent of the new democratic dispensation in 1994, massive budgetary allocations had been committed to the development of education. This study sampled six high schools from circuit one of the Mthatha District of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa for the investigation into the performance Grade 12 Business Studies learners. The Study revealed that prior knowledge was the most significant factor in determining a good performance in Business Studies. The conclusion is that on the basis of the research findings the overall development of teaching and learning towards good performance in Business Studies by Grade 12 students can be possible if teachers and students are provided with the required resources.
