Abstract
Learners affected by Human Immunodeficiency Virus, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome
(HIV/AIDS), are particularly vulnerable to poor nutrition, mental and physical health abuse, and
poverty. This negatively impacts learning and teaching. For these students to study well, they need
support from the educational system. However, how school management systems support
orphaned and vulnerable learners affected by HIV/AIDS is unclear. Therefore, this study aimed to
explore how the management systems support learners affected by HIV/AIDS in schools. A
qualitative research methodology with an explorative approach was utilised to conduct the study.
