Participants were drawn from 5 secondary schools in the Western Cape, SA.
The participants included 461 Grade 12 learners who completed the Grade 11 Life
Orientation curriculum and 7 Life Orientation educators. The case study provided
the opportunity to closely examine the data in its specific context over a period of
