The leadership role of principals in managing HIV in primary schools in the Grahamstown District Area, Eastern Cape Province

[摘要] ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Education in Sub-Saharan Africa is overshadowed with challenges of HIV which affects the learner and educator populations negatively. The HIV epidemic is considered the single largest threat to global education, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. The Eastern Cape has the third largest HIV infected population in our country with almost 223 new infections per day. The new challenges of HIV cause education institutions to cease achieving their goals because it creates an impact on the demand and supply of education. With the escalating infection rate, School Principals are summoned with a mandate to be ambassadors for transformational change in the struggle against the epidemic.School Principals need transformational leadership and an effective management approach to impact HIV in their schools. It is of importance for School Principals to be trained to explore the executing of their role in managing, implementing, monitoring and integrating the process of HIV education in Primary Schools.
