The effects of HIV/AIDS on teaching and learning in the classroom

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of HIVIAIDS on educators, learners and the teaching and learning situation. By means of a literature review the negative and devastating effects of HIVIAIDS on educators, learners and the teaching and learning situation were highlighted. Furthermore, an empirical research was conducted with educators and learners to determine the extent of the effects of HIVIAIDS on educators, learners and the teaching and learning situation. The data analysis provides evidence of the detrimental effects that HIVIAIDS has on educators, learners and the teaching and learning situation and clearly indicates an absence of measures in the school situation to cope with the negative effects of HIVIAIDS. The study is concluded with recommendations on how to curb the negative effects of HIVIAIDS on educators, learners and the teaching and learning situation
