Abstract

This study was motivated by the incessant teachers' strikes in the Eastern Cape Province and South Africa in general and the poor academic performance as well as poor quality education which is a general concern in many circles. Therefore, this study set out to examine the impact of teachers' strikes on the right of learners to education in the Eastern Cape Province from the perspective of social work students who had experienced at least one teachers' strike. Through a semi-structured questionnaire, a sample of 112 social work students who undertook their Matric examination in the Eastern Cape Province was randomly selected to participate in the study.
