Özet:

 

Franchising, a business concept that originated in the United States of America (USA), is a
 system of doing business via contracts through which the franchiser shares a system of
 knowledge, intellectual property and trade secrets in return for fees and royalties. Social
 franchising, on the other hand, utilises the same principles and format to achieve social
 benefits. Social franchising has been associated with, among others, the health services and
 education. Health services such as Marie Stopes International make use of social franchising
 to increase their services by engaging existing private providers to deliver high quality sexual
 reproductive health services in underserved areas. In education, social franchising can be seen
 as a quick fix to national problems regarding education. The purpose of this study was to
 qualitatively analyse facilitators’ perceptions of social franchising in education through the
 provision of supplementary lessons and its potential to improve students’ performance. The
 sample of the study comprised facilitators actively involved in the facilitation of lessons to
 supplement existing knowledge/impart new learning methodologies in mathematics, science
 and languages for school-going learners. An interview schedule was developed and
 participants were interviewed at the site of delivery during the period when students were on
 recess. From a content analysis of the transcripts of the interviews four themes, namely,
 challenges, opportunities, motivation and sustainability emerged. It is recommended that
 there should be greater parental as well as university involvement in the provision of
 supplementary tuition for learners. Existing schools with adequate resources should also be
 considered as possible venues for supplementary tuition.
