The utilized sample in the study consisted of one hundred and seventy learners (including both current & non-continuing learners), and sixty tutors. In this context, dropout refers to those students enrolling for a course (Grade 10, Standard 10) at face-to-face centers and discontinuing their studies before completing the entire course. It is required from all learners to attend classes regularly before they can sit for the final external examination taking place annually in October or November.

Bilingual Language Arts Posters For The Classroom: A Reflection Of The Students' Culture And Needs, Mary Beth Doerr, Andrea Muñoz
All Graduate Projects
This project was designed to meet the needs of classrooms that are currently bilingual in some capacity and finding that current monolingual visual aids are not reaching all students. Bilingual visual aids in the form of posters will be created in order to meet those needs for the Spanish speaking population prevalent in the local schools. This paper describes the process of research and design for those visual aids.
