POLICY AND RESEARCH PROGRAMMES
Internal Migration Pilot Study
Survey conducted with 800 teachers (600 practicing teachers and 200 newly qualified) in the context of a pilot study:As a pilot study preliminary to a nationwide survey which SACE will undertake concerning the internal migration patterns of teachers.To investigates the data from the questionnaires in order to provide an initial identification of trends in internal migration patterns from which tentative conclusions are drawn and recommendations made.To tests the suitability of the questionnaires as research instruments for the wider study and makes recommendations for their improvement.

10/19/12
SCHOOL-BASED VIOLENCE STUDYSACE worked with the Centre of Study of
Violence and Reconciliation (CSVR) on the effect of school-based violence study, with special focus on educators and a report was produced in November 2011.
The study has shown that negative impact of school-based violence on learners/children is well documented nationally and internationally.
The research has clearly shown that there is a lack of focus on the impact of high levels of violence on educators and how they are able to cope.
This is also confirmed by the clear gap in literature on the issue of school violence pertaining to teacher’s experiences.
Therefore, more work needs to be done in this area.
10/19/12
ANALYSIS OF EDUCATOR MISCONDUCT CASES REPORTED TO SACE IN 2008 AND 2009
The main findings from the analysis are that most of the cases reported to SACE come from Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and the Western Cape, provinces with major metropolitan areas.
The report also notes that although the Eastern Cape has the second largest number of educators in the country, the province has among the fewest reported cases of misconduct.
Males are more likely to be accused of misconduct than females and the largest proportion of offenders is between the ages of 35 and 54.

ANALYSIS OF EDUCATOR MISCONDUCT CASES REPORTED TO SACE IN 2008 AND 2009Largest number of cases before SACE was
lodged by the Provincial Education Departments.
Largest proportion of cases involved professional misconduct, followed by assault.
Over the two years the number of sexual cases increased - include rape allegations, harassment and inappropriate relationships with learners.
