With the increasing numbers of learners and teachers becoming infected and affected by HIV/AIDS, it is important for all schools to have an HIV/AIDS policy so that the rights of those affected are respected. A non-discriminatory and conducive environment should be created.

Managing HIV/AIDs in schools
The Schools Act creates a framework that gives people a far greater role in the governance and development of their schools. The state cannot do everything for all schools. The Schools Act says that all stakeholders in education must accept responsibility for the organisation of schools, and points out that parents and members of local communities are often in the best position to know what a school really needs and what its problems are. This is the reason for creating a governing body for every public school. [480]
