4 Project Background In 2004 the ELRC commissioned the HSRC to undertake the first-ever comprehensive study on factors determining educator supply and demand in South African public schools for its stakeholders such as: Departments of Education at national and provincial levels The South African Council for Educators (SACE) Teacher unions (SADTU, NAPTOSA & SAOU) Study set the baseline for the impact of HIV/AIDS in the education sector.

5 Project Background (continued) In 2005 the HSRC published eight research reports from the study which including one which was titled The Health of Our Educators. Key findings of report: HIV prevalence was 12.7% (i.e., thus comparable to that found in the general population) High AIDS morbidity High levels of absenteeism due to HIV-related illnesses Hotspots (districts which had high HIV prevalence >20%) were mainly located in KZN, EC and MP provinces.

6 Project Background (continued) Based on the 2005 study, ELRC together with for teacher unions (SADTU, NAPTOSA, SAOU and NATU) started a pilot programme known as Prevention, Care and Treatment Access (PCTA) which delivered HIV/AIDS programming dedicated exclusively to educators living with and affected by HIV/AIDS in the three provinces that were most impacted by HIV/AIDS (viz., KZN, EC and MP). Due to its success the pilot was expanded nationally as PCTA II by ELRC together with four teacher unions except that SADTU was replaced by PEU supported by PEPFAR/CDC while the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) provided technical assistance.

7 Project Background (contd) SADTU also implemented a concurrent project called the HIV Prevention, Palliative Care for Teachers, Orphans and Vulnerable Children (PPCT-OVC) project which sought to address the effects of HIV on SADTU members and learners who are orphans or vulnerable in schools. Given this background, it is imperative to track the progress of the disease in the education sector since 2005 as well as evaluate the impact of new prevention efforts mounted by both the government (e.g. HIV and AIDS Life Skills Education and Peer Education Programmes) and the unions alike (such as PCTA, PCTA II and PPCT-OVC).

8 Project Goals Two main goals: To investigate the HIV related epidemiological profile of educators and school leadership (principal, vice principals and Heads of Departments) in the public education sector To assess the impact of HIV prevention, care and treatment programmes on HIV prevalence

9 Specific Study Objectives Estimate the prevalence of HIV Establish baseline data for HIV incidence Estimate the number of educators and school leadership on ARVs in SA Assess the relationship between behavioural factors and HIV infection Compare HIV prevalence, and risk behaviour among public educators and school leadership in SA over the period 2004 to 2015

10 Additional objectives Assess the self reported prevalence of TB, STIs and non-communicable diseases Evaluate mental health status including job-related stress Assess levels of substance abuse Establish environmental issues such as violence in schools Ascertain structural issues such as large class size and workload

11 Research Design and Methods

12 METHODOLOGY: Study population Population: all educators teaching from Grades R to 12, working full-time or part-time, employed by the state or by school governing bodies, in the public education schooling system in SA

13 Study design A cross-sectional survey employing second-generation surveillance methodology which combines both bio-medical and behavioural indicators in the same survey. Bio-medical indicators included testing for HIV status, HIV incidence (new infections) and ARV use Behavioural indicators included examining knowledge, attitudes and risk behaviour

14 Sampling design: In schools A multistage stratified cluster sample: The sample was stratified by province and educational districts. Schools were classified according to their districts and province. In each district/ metropolitan council and within each phase of the school (primary or high), a sample of schools was randomly selected probability proportional to size. The number of educators within each school were used as a measure of size.

15 Sampling: In schools 1. Define target population ( All Educators) 2.Define sampling frame EMIS (Master List of schools Circuit Offices) 3. Define Primary Sampling Unit PSU Schools 4. Define explicit strata (Provinces-municipal districts) 5. Define reporting domain (Municipal districts and race) 6. Define Measure of size (All educators) 7. Define Ultimate sampling unit (SSU ) (All educators present on the day of survey) 8. Allocation of sample proportions - MOS To drawing a sample

16 Questionnaire Modules Fieldwork was undertaken from August 2015 and concluded in February 2016 Questionnaire modules included among others: Demographic characteristics Teaching responsibilities and workload Morale and job satisfaction General health HIV/AIDS and TB knowledge Sexual behaviour Stigma against HIV and TB Violence within institutions Exposure to HIV communication

17 HIV Specimen Collection A finger prick was used to collect dried blood spots (DBS) Biomarkers were tested in SANAS-accredited laboratory for: HIV status and HIV incidence (DBS) Antiretroviral (ARV) drugs (DBS) Linked by barcode (no identifiers)

18 Laboratory Testing Dried Blood Spot HIV Antibody screening Antibody Positive HIV Incidence Testing Anti-retroviral exposure

19 Study Results

47 HIV stigma Educators reported reasonably low levels of HIV related stigma (10.5%). Many educators indicated that they feel comfortable talking to others about HIV/AIDS. The majority of educators across all provinces (55.5% to 62.9%) and of all ages (58.7% to 66.3%) showed some ambivalence about disclosure of their family members being infected by HIV to others.

63 DBE policies and support Over half of educators (52.6%) reported that DBE addresses the problem of HIV/AIDS stigma adequately, compared to 42.4% reported in A high proportion (87.1%) of educators indicated that DBE supports educators who are ill/sick. Less than half (49.0%) were aware of DBE Integrated Strategy on HIV, STIs & TB. Overall, just over half of educators found the strategy to be very useful, whilst a low proportion (3.6%) found it to be of no use.

64 Union HIV/AIDS policy The majority of educators (86.2%) reported that they were members of teacher unions. There were no differences between males and females. Educators are generally unionized irrespective of race, locality type and province.

65 Training of educators A high proportion of educators attended life-skills education training (71.2%) and in-service training (67.2%). Attendance at these trainings consistently increased with age and experience of educators but it was lower among African educators compared to other races.

66 SUMMARY

67 HIV prevalence increased 1.2 times since the 2004 Although the HIV prevalence in the Western Cape remains the lowest, there was a 2.3% increase since the 2004 survey. KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape have the highest HIV incidence, which was higher than the national average of 0.84% Majority of educators were sexually active in the 12 months prior to the survey with one sexual partner. High levels of knowledge about behavioural risk and HIV transmission. High levels of correct knowledge about behavioural risk, prevention and cure of TB transmission.

68 Most educators were physically, mentally and emotionally healthy. More educators reported being admitted to hospital in the previous 12 months compared to the 2004 survey. Main reasons for considering a career change or intention to leave were poor salaries, heavy workload, facing too many demands, and increased class sizes. Increased workload was due to increased class sizes, lack of parental involvement, learners ill-discipline, shortage of educators and educator absenteeism. A higher proportion of educators reported that DBE addresses the problem of HIV/AIDS stigma adequately in 2015, compared to that reported in 2004.

69 Recommendations

70 HIV Prevalence, incidence and antiretroviral treatment (1) The response to HIV in the education sector should be comprehensive and encompass biomedical, social, economic and behavioural interventions. DBE should implement an evidence-based comprehensive and multi-sectorial response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the education sector including: promotion of condom use, uptake of medical male circumcision, and uptake of ARVs especially among those who are not on medical aid.

71 HIV Prevalence, incidence and antiretroviral treatment (1) Tailor interventions for high risk groups, namely, females, younger educators, those living in rural areas, and those living in the high HIV burden provinces of KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape. Include interventions to reduce multiple sexual partners especially among high risk groups.

72 HIV Prevalence, incidence and antiretroviral treatment (3) Introduce social and behavior change communication campaigns (SBCC) to encourage consistent condom use among educators during any sexual contacts. Female condoms should be made widely available to educators. There is a need to continue promoting HIV Counselling and Testing through workplace wellness programmes

73 Stigma and substances There is a need for stigma mitigation programmes to address stigma and encourage disclosure of HIV status within the sector. It is recommended that DBE should implement a workplace substance use prevention programme which includes alcohol, tobacco and drugs use cessation/reduction programmes.

74 Potential Attrition from Public Education System It is recommended that DBE addresses the large class sizes at schools. DBE should implement workplace programmes that assist educators to manage high stress levels. DBE should emphasize strategies for educator career pathing and make educators aware of internal career opportunities, especially for younger educators who were more likely to want to leave the profession. DBE should implement programmes to improve awareness of the DBE Integrated Strategy on HIV, STIs and TB educators
