Towards a South African Teacher Induction Framework

The many challenges experienced by NQTs include assignment to poorly-disciplined, lowperforming and/or large classes, additional responsibilities, high teaching loads, and difficulty in accessing the staffroom culture (Tahir et al., 2014). As a result, many leave teaching after a few years for other jobs. Accordingly, in June 2018, JET Education Services (JET) was contracted by the Flemish Association for Development Cooperation and Technical Assistance (VVOB) and the DBE to undertake the research to develop a draft concept document on teacher induction.
