EWP 6 further states that all educational systems should be transformed to accommodate all learners in mainstream schools and proposes the establishment of support teams at school level. The main function of the School-based Support Teams (SBSTs) in all schools is to assist teachers to effectively provide support to all learners experiencing learning barriers. This qualitative research study explored the role of the School-based support team (SBST) in two primary schools in the Cape Metropole. Purposive sampling was used and the sample size was nine participants.enSchool-based support teamPrimary schoolsCape metropoleUnsatisfactory parental involvementUniversity of the Western Cape
