ABSTRACT
This study assessed the impact of Camfed’s bursary scheme in S3 schools focusing on five
schools in Mola and Siakobvu clusters of Nyaminyami rural district. The study aimed at
identifying outcomes of Camfed’s bursary scheme in S3 schools. A qualitative descriptive
survey design was used and data were collected from a wide range of participants namely
school heads, teachers, Camfed mentors, parents and learners. Questionnaires, interviews,
focus groups and document study were the main research instruments used. Findings
revealed that Camfed’s bursary scheme enabled many girls to attend school regularly
although their performances in public examinations were still below the expected standard.
Tonga subject, which was once a marginalized language, was being taught and examined in
S3 schools. It is concluded that through Camfed’s bursary scheme the enrolment, attendance,
retention, completion rates, and the teaching and learning process of girl children in S3
schools were being improved. The study recommends that the Ministry of Education make
provisions in colleges and universities for training of Tonga language teachers. There is need
for constructing a boarding school facility in Nyaminyami district to improve academic
performance and also reduce long distances covered travelling to school by children in S3
schools and risks associated with bush boarding.
