It focuses on the stakeholders, comprising principals, educators, subject advisors and school governing bodies. A piece of critical emancipatory research, it examines discourses on power dynamics and distribution among stakeholders. A qualitative research approach was chosen, employing data collection methods that included focus group discussions and observation. In selecting information-rich participants, the school management teams, level one teachers and departmental officials were considered knowledgeable and informative sources on curriculum delivery in secondary schools. Umzinyathi District consists of four local municipalities. The three secondary schools were purposefully selected from deep rural Nquthu local municipality.
