The document discusses a Turn Around Strategy (TAS) that aims to improve school performance. It outlines the key components of the strategy, which include 5 steps for change, 5 phases of turnaround, 16 principle issues to address as inputs, and 16 deliverables as outputs. The strategy uses tools like a baseline survey, self-rating, and functionality questionnaire. It also discusses applying the strategy through workshops and site work to help schools progress from dysfunctional to high-performing. An example from Lubombo Circuit shows most schools initially identified as under-performing or dysfunctional but were able to improve through this approach.
