“…With many dysfunctional schools and the inability of the country to fill and adequately train teaching staff, our results highlight the necessity of targeted interventions to improve outcomes. This result is consistent with a similar study by Uzonwanne et al (2020) and Paul and Saha (2016) who reported insignificant long run effect of government education spending on adult literacy across different countries. However, the analysis of the short run impact in panel B shows that public spending on education has a statistically significant effect on literacy rate.…”

“…With a primary education efficiency score of 58 % and a secondary education efficiency score of 41 %, Africa is the least efficient region in terms of education spending, with the European Union being the most efficient at 80 % (African Development Bank, 2020). Amongst African countries, Swaziland, Malawi, Niger, Tunisia, and South Africa allocated a higher proportion of their GDP towards education, exceeding the threshold of 6 % (Paul & Saha, 2016). However, it is important to…”

“…Lee and Nam (2020) report differing results for the relationship between education spending and literacy for 100 countries based on their level of economic development; a positive relationship was shown for developing countries, while a negative relationship was shown for developed countries. Paul and Saha (2016) undertook a study that aimed to evaluate the influence of education budget allocation on the literacy rate across a sample of 75 countries worldwide. They found a correlation between the allocation of funds towards education as a percentage of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the literacy rate.…”

Much empirical literature has focused on investigating the role of government expenditure in promoting long-term economic growth in South Africa. However, few studies in comparison have considered the impact of government spending on literacy level in the country. To this end, this paper examines the impact of government spending on literacy rate in South Africa using an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model with annual time series data over the period from 1994 to 2021. The key findings of this study are: (a) there is evidence of a long run relationship between government spending on education and the literacy rate in South Africa; (b) while the long run effect of government education spending on literacy is not significant, there is a statistically significant positive effect in the short run. These findings have several implications for policymakers and other stakeholders. Therefore, the study recommends that increased monitoring and evaluation mechanisms are desirable in the primary and secondary education sectors for accountability and reducing wastage of taxpayer funds. The Department of Education is also encouraged to re-consider current teacher training practices and fill long standing vacancies in the school sector that negatively impact education outcomes.

“…In conducting this study, the researchers employed research ethics like voluntary participation, informed consent, confidentiality, and minimum potential for harm. According to Bhandari [64][65][66][67], voluntary participation means that participants are free to join or withdraw from the study at any point in time; informed consent is letting the participants know the purpose, benefits, risks, and funding behind the study before they agree or decline to join; confidentiality pertains to keeping the identity of the participants from everyone else; and minimum potential for harm means that physical, social, psychological, and all other types of harm are kept to an absolute minimum. These research ethics were applied by the researchers by explaining to the participants that they were free to participate or withdraw from the study without any pressure or coercion.…”

Supervision is inseparable with education. In school, the principal performs supervisory roles to guide personnel and implement activities. However, the school head in a stand-alone senior high school reported challenges that influenced her supervisory roles. Hence, this study sought to examine the challenges and supervisory roles of the school head in stand-alone senior high school. Three research questions guided the paper which employed phenomenological-case study. One school head and six teachers in the same school of Region XI were chosen using the purposive sampling technique. The researchers conducted in- depth interview using the Office Performance Commitment and Review Form (OPCRF). Employing Colaizzi’s technique and content analysis, the researchers analyzed and clustered responses into themes. Results revealed that the school head encountered challenges in their supervisory role such as limited resources, curriculum demands and changes, teacher retention, community and parental involvement, and maintenance and improvement of infrastructures and facilities. With the findings of the supervisory roles and supervisory roles insights, the school heads are encouraged to create a strategic plan that contains clear steps and measures to address the supervisory challenges to be guided on what roles to take. Department of Education leaders might also help them address these challenges by assigning senior high school focal persons to directly respond to the needs and capacitate the school heads to enhance their supervisory skills. Moreover, stakeholders are encouraged to strengthen their involvement in stand-alone senior high schools. Lastly, future researchers might be inspired conduct a related study with more participants in a single case to comprehensively investigate their supervisory roles.

“…In this context, to cultivate high-quality talents with innovative abilities that meet the professional training goals, teachers themselves must have some excellent qualities, become scholars in the new era [6], and become the object of imitation by students. In this way, classroom teaching is the only way in which can we truly realise 'teacher-led, student-centered', to cultivate superb educational and teaching abilities, achieve the effect of 'beyond the blue', and to promote the orderly, healthy and sustainable development of teaching work [7].…”

Teachers are the leaders of teaching activities, and the quality of teachers is the core of their ability to effectively carry out teaching practice. The quality of teachers’ team is closely related to the educational environment. This paper first aims at the origin and development of the concept of literacy construction and believes that the literacy of teachers’ team in the educational environment is an extension of literacy, and it is also a necessary literacy for teaching. First, it is essential to carry out the calculation of the literacy matching weight. Second, the construction of teacher team literacy mainly includes teachers’ professional literacy, teacher teaching literacy, teacher information literacy, teacher learning literacy and teacher personal characteristics. The construction of team literacy is inseparable from the influence of environmental factors, mainly including the needs of school students, school innovation atmosphere, school education environment and other educational environmental factors. Combined with the quality of teachers’ team, a set of teacher team quality construction framework based on the educational environment is designed. At the same time, the use of information technology innovation and breakthroughs, combined with school teacher team literacy construction requires certain educational environment support, and it is necessary to provide targeted training for literacy construction, create a suitable teaching atmosphere, get rid of traditional teaching presuppositions, and start from the educational environment. The problems that appear in the process are used as a basis to improve the construction of literacy according to the problems. Finally, using deep learning to predict and analyse the data, the experimental results show that the accurate prediction can reach 96.89%, indicating that various factors in the educational environment will affect the construction of teacher team literacy.
