Identifying risk factors amongst pupils of Groendal Secondary School that make them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS

Despite all our efforts to teach life skills to our learners, we still get learners that fall pregnant, use drug substances, drop out of school and have no future plans. The aim of this study was two-folded. Firstly, it aimed to determine some factors identified by our learners and educators from their own experience that make our learners vulnerable to contract HIV/AIDS. The identification of these factors will give our school’s educators and broader community an indication on how to act and help our learners to live a responsible life. Secondly, the study aimed to give our school and others through literature studies some guidelines to address the problems experienced by the school and learners.
