The role of secondary school educators in academic performance of form E students at Hlotse, in Leribe district, in Lesotho

Abstract

The main aim of this study was to investigate the role played by educators in the academic performance of Form E students Through the literature, it was discovered that effective educators spend the major part of class time on academic activities, teaching content at a level that ensures a high rate of success by explaining both content and assignment clearly. The students perform badly because of poor teaching since educators do not prepare throughly for the lessons. As a result, it was suggested that educators should place a high priority on student participation by employing student centred approach as useful technique for improving results. It was further suggested that, to improve or maintain results in Form E (COSC) class, educators should implement effective management strategies purported to be typical of effective educators.
