The main aim of this study was to explore quality assurance as utilised in the Foundation Phase in the Limpopo Province. The concept of quality assurance refers to a programme for the systematic monitoring and evaluation of the various aspects of a project, service, or facility to ensure that standards of quality are being met. This study is based on the constructivist, naturalistic or interpretative paradigm. According to the constructivist paradigm, reality is subjective and multiple. The study is based on exploratory research design, which is aimed at identifying the reasons for the challenges experienced and the possible solutions for the implementation of quality assurance. This study is also based on a mixed method research approach which consists of both qualitative and quantitative approaches. This study is guided by the Total Quality Management Theoretical Framework developed by William Edwards Deming.
In this study, the questionnaire and interview methods were used to collect data. An analysis of th

Xikongomelonkulu xa ndzavisiso lowu a ku ri ku valanga axuwarense ya khwaliti eka Foundation Phase eka sekhete yin'we eka xifundzhankulu (provhinsi) ya Limpopo. Khonsepe ya axuwarense ya khwaliti swi vula nongonoko wo fambisiwa hi sisteme ya ku monithara na ivhaluwexini eka swiyenge swo hambana swa projeke, ku nga vutirheli kumbe fasiliti ya ku tiyisa leswo ku hlanganyetiwana na switandadi swa khwaliti. Rimba ra Total Quality Management Theoretical Framework ri endliwe hi William Edwards Deming hi ku leteriwa hi ndzavisiso.
Ndzavisiso a wu akeriwe ehenhla ka xiseketelo xa constructivist, naturalistic kumbe interpretive paradigm na ku tirhisa dizayini ya exploratory research leyi nga na xikongomelo xa ku vona swivangelo swa mintlhontlho eka axuwarense ya khwaliti na ku kuma switlhantlhi swa swirhalanganyi eka mintlhontlho leyi ku kotisa ku antswisa matirhelo ya axuwarense ya khwaliti. Ku tirhisiwe maendlelo yo pfangana ya rhiseche, lama ya katsaku qualitative na quantitative, kasi ku tirhisiwe na nongonoko wa swivutiso leswi tsariweke ku nga questionnaire, xikan'we na tiinthavhyu eka ku hlangeleta vutivi. Ku tirhisiwe sampuli ya random sampling ku hlawula vadyondzi va ntlhanu eka xikolo na xikolo leswi swi nga va na xiavo eka ndzavisiso, kasi ku tlhela ku tirhisiwa na purposive sampling ku langa prinsipala wun'we na vatswari vanharhu eka xikolo na xikolo, xikan'we na ku tirhisa vatsundzuxi hi kharikhyulamu ku suka eka sekhete yin'wana na yin'wana.
Ndzavisiso wu kume leswo ku na ku kayivela ka xivono xin'we lexi kunguhatekeke ku nga cohesive vision mayelana na ku tirhisiwa ka tisisteme ta vufambisi bya khwaliti lebyi hlanganeke, leswi swi nga endla leswo ku va na swibumabumelo mayelana na ndzima ya Ndzawulo ya Dyondzo yo Sungula, tiprinsipala, mathicara, vatswari na vatsundzuxi hi kharikhyulamu, leswo va fanele ku tlanga ndzima eka khwaliti ya dyondzo eka Foundation Phase. Swibumabumelo swi katsa ku endzeriwa ka swikolo hi mikarhi na mikarhi hi vafambisi va sekhete, ku leteriwa loku ringaneke ka vulawuri bya swikolo ku nga school governing bodies, na tinhloko ta tindzawulo, na ku nyiketiwa ka nseketelo wa le henhla eka mathicara na vatsundzuxi hi kharikhyulamu. Na le henhla ka sweswo, ku bumabumeriwa leswo xirhalanganyi lexi yaku emahlweni xa ku pfumaleka ka matheriyali lowu faneleke wa ku dyondza na ku dyondzisa eka mathicara na vadyondzi, ngopfu ngopfu eka Foundation Phase, ku fanele ku langutaniwa na kona. Kavanyisa ko hetelela ka ndzavisiso ku hlamusela switratheji leswi swi nga voniwa swi ri swo tirheka swinene swa ku antswisa khwaliti ya dyondzo eka swikolo leswi ku nga lavisisiwa hi swona eka ndzavisiso. Swin'wana swa swibumabumelo swi nga naviseriwa na le ka swikolo swin'wana leswi swi nga tirheku kahle eka xifundzhankulu (provhinsi).
