- Description
- The type of high school students attend, the subjects they complete in Grade 12, and the level of intellectual, emotional, and physical resources they can access in their home environments can impact a learner’s post-school education and training (PSET) success. Subject choice has been identified as one of the factors influencing the extent of learners’ opportunities at the further education and training (FET) level and later also at the PSET level. This study explored the perceived impact of learners’ subject-choice decisions at no-fee high schools in Nelson Mandela Bay. Systems theory, including systems thinking and supply chain management, and choice theory were used in exploring subject choice in the education service supply chain system. The degree to which subject choice was a limiter or expander of a learner’s options when moving from a high school to a post-school environment was explored. A qualitative exploratory, descriptive approach was used to assess subject choice processes in the education supply chain system. Convenience and purposive sampling were used to recruit nine participants from three no-fee high schools in Nelson Mandela Bay. Data was collected through open-ended individual interviews and analysed using thematic analysis. Four main themes emerged from the data analysis: Challenges, Power, Resources, and Fear of Failure.
