### 1.1 Identify the target audience of this text and justify your
response (25 words).
The target audience of the text is the general public, particularly
educators, parents, and policymakers, as they are stakeholders
impacted by school violence and safety concerns.
### 1.2 In your opinion, mention FOUR ways in which violence has
negatively impacted some schools in South Africa. (150 words)
Violence in South African schools has far-reaching negative effects.
Firstly, it creates an unsafe environment for students and teachers,
leading to increased anxiety and fear, which can impede learning.
Secondly, a culture of violence can lead to diminished academic
performance, as students may prioritize survival over education.
Thirdly, incidents of violence can result in disciplinary measures such as
expulsions and suspensions, which further disrupt students’
educational trajectories. Lastly, violence erodes community trust in
schools, making parents hesitant to engage with educational
institutions, thereby weakening the support network essential for
fostering a positive learning environment. These impacts not only affect
immediate stakeholders but can also contribute to broader societal
issues, perpetuating cycles of violence and disadvantage.
### 1.3 In a paragraph of 150 words, summarise FOUR ideas discussed
in the text.
