An examination of young teacher experiences.

Last year, we undertook a study that explores how young teachers in South Africa understand their experiences, issues, challenges, and aspirations relative to our Teachers CAN manifesto.

With the ultimate aim of bringing together different role players in the education sector to create a common understanding and base from which to work together with young teachers and co-create a new reality where teachers’ experiences are valued in building innovative solutions for the education crisis in South Africa.

The study engaged with 436 young teachers through a combination of online and telephonic surveys as well as conducting qualitative interviews and focus group discussions with 75 young teachers. An important part of this report was about the voices of young teachers and how that relates to the Teachers CAN manifesto.
