- Description
- This study focuses on the influence of peer education programmes on learner behaviour. Peer education is a critical approach for behaviour-change. The presentation had two objectives. The first objective was to determine the nature and extent of peer education programmes policy implementation in the school under study. The second objective was to determine the impact of the policy on learner behaviour. A questionnaire which was administered to all trained peer educators at Bulelani High School indicated that all respondents agreed that peer education was educationally relevant and offered accurate information. Furthermore, results indicated that older learners strongly agreed that peer education programmes have an impact on behavioural changes than younger learners who merely agreed on that. The results also showed that the duration of involvement in peer education programmes influences the opinion on the impact of peer education on behavioural changes. Looking at the respondents ’gender, the researcher could not find any evidence that the impact of peer education on behavioural change depends on the gender of the respondent and therefore concludes that opinions are independent of gender. The study shows that in schools where peer education programmes are well implemented and monitored, they do impact on learner-behaviour in a positive way.
