Answer to Question #240175 in English for Xoli

Question

Discuss shortcomings experienced by ECD teachers from disadvantaged communities

Answer 1

1. Harsh weather conditions in arid and semi-arid areas. This makes pupils abscond classes hence giving ECD teachers a hard time.

2. Lack of enough remuneration. The amount of salary paid to ECD teachers is way too small compared to their work. This may discourage them hence becoming lazy or may quit their jobs.

3. Lack of teaching and learning resources. People living in remort areas lack resources, including classrooms, books,playgrounds,safe and clean water, restrooms, and many more. This implies that ECD teachers strain a lot when implementing the ECD curriculum.
