, Read the scenario below and answer questions: Mr Hanyane has been a
Grade 10 English educator for several years. The school where he teaches
has appointed a new principal. The principal soon discovers that Mr Hanyane
absences himself frequently from school. Mr Hanyane never completes leave
forms and has created a pattern of absence, especially on Mondays and
paydays. The principal warns Mr Hanyane once and informs him that he may
be fired. Mr Hanyane continues with his behaviour and ignores the principal.
After an absence of four days without any account of his whereabouts, the
principal calls Mr Hanyane to his office and informs him that he can continue
his leave because he has been dismissed. Question 1: 1.2 Discuss the impact

Question 1.2: Discuss the impact of poor performance on an educator's employment
contract. (13 marks)
Poor performance can have significant implications on an educator's employment contract,
especially in a school setting where high standards of teaching and attendance are expected. In
Mr. Hanyane's case:
• Attendance and punctuality: His frequent absences, especially on Mondays and
paydays, indicate poor attendance which directly impacts his ability to fulfill his teaching
duties.
• Quality of teaching: Continuous absence can lead to missed classes, disruption in
educational continuity, and potentially compromised quality of teaching and learning
outcomes for students.
• Professional reputation: Poor performance in terms of attendance and fulfillment of
duties can tarnish the educator's professional reputation within the school community.
• Contractual obligations: Employment contracts for educators typically include clauses
related to attendance, fulfillment of duties, and adherence to school policies. Failure to
meet these expectations constitutes poor performance and can lead to disciplinary action
or termination.
In Mr. Hanyane's case, his poor performance in terms of attendance and failure to comply with
administrative procedures (like not completing leave forms) directly contributed to his dismissal.
This demonstrates how critical it is for educators to maintain high standards of performance and
conduct to uphold their employment contracts.
Question 1.3: Evaluate how a breach of contract in the context of educators results in
termination. (12 marks)
