### 2.9. GAPS IN LITERATURE
#### 2.9.1. AREAS THAT REQUIRE FURTHER RESEARCH
Identifying specific interventions that effectively mitigate stress among teachers and students remains an under-researched area. Current literature predominantly addresses general stress factors affecting educators and learners without delving into tailored, evidence-based strategies that can be practically implemented in specific school contexts, such as Manyana Primary School. Furthermore, the intersection of cultural, socioeconomic, and educational dynamics unique to the region has not been adequately explored.
Additionally, while various stress management techniques have been proposed, their adaptability and effectiveness in primary school settings, particularly in rural or under-resourced areas, warrant further investigation. There is a need for longitudinal studies that assess the long-term impacts of implemented stress management interventions on teacher retention rates and student academic performance. Moreover, research focusing on the perspectives of both teachers and students regarding stress and workload management at Manyana Primary School could provide valuable insights into context-specific challenges and solutions.
A major gap also exists in understanding the impact of workload distribution on stress levels among both educators and students. The existing literature tends to generalize stress responses without considering the nuances of workload management, particularly in multi-grade classrooms typical in primary education. In-depth qualitative studies exploring the lived experiences of teachers and students regarding their workload and stress can enrich the current understanding and contribute to more effective, targeted interventions.
Lastly, incorporating mental health literacy and emotional resilience training into the curricula as a preventative measure for stress management remains an area ripe for exploration. Research could investigate how such initiatives impact both individual and collective stress levels within the school community.
