摘要：The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of resource materials on implementation of Life Skills Education programme in high schools in the Manzini region of Eswatini. The study was undertaken in four high schools in the Manzini region. This study was guided by Micheal Fullan’s Educational Change Model. The purposively sampled participants consisted of head teachers and teachers. A qualitative approach and a case study design were used for the study. The head teachers were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. Teachers were engaged in focus group discussions. Observations were done for all participants. Data was analysed using a thematic analysis approach. The findings revealed a myriad of factors that negatively affected the implementation of life skills. The factors included lack of adequate preparation of teachers and inadequate teaching/learning resource materials. The study also recommended that curriculum designers and Government should design and provide adequate support materials to teachers.
