Beside this, to collect qualitative information, 16 focus group discussions with the NFPE staff and the in-service: teachers were conducted. The findings show that teacher's discontinuation was frequently not related to a single factor, but rather a contribution of several socio-cultural, personal and organisational factors was responsible. These factors included: physical illness, poor remuneration, extensive household chores, workload with the school-related activities and pedagogical weakness of the teachers. It was realized that the stated factors were not directly associated with the discontinuation.
