dc.description.abstract |
To redress the inequalities of the past, Chapter 2 of the Bill of Rights states that everyone has the right to basic education. Since this is a constitutional right, it is the responsibility of the schools to ensure that there is a retention of learners and those in Grade 12 achieve good results. Senior Management Teams (SMTs) are the accounting officers of results in their schools, therefore, their mandate is to ensure that the school is run smoothly. The study focused on the role of SMT’s in ensuring improved learner performance in the Johannesburg East District of Gauteng. The study adopted a purposive sampling whereby 12 participants from three township schools in the Johannesburg East District of Gauteng were sampled. Each school was represented by a principal, one deputy principal, one head of departmental (HOD) and one teacher. In-depth interviews were used to collect data from each sampled participant.
The findings revealed that SMTs are aware of their roles, but are faced with challenges that hinder them from implementing those roles effectively due to the socio-economic factors affecting the communities where the schools are situated. Therefore, the study recommends the empowerment of SMTs that will enable them to execute their roles effectively. Furthermore, the government needs to educate the community on the importance of education. Finally, the government needs to address the socio-economic factors in townships, as such factors have a direct, negative impact on learner performance in township schools. |
