Managing the Implementation of School Development Plans in Rural Primary Schools

Abstract

This study established that although schools are embarking on development planning, there are challenges and factors that prevent the schools from understanding the development planning process. Hence managing the implementation of a SDP is not yet achieved. Many of these challenges may be the result of a lack of knowledge and skills among SMT members on managing the development process, inadequate management training received by SMT members and resistance to change by SMTs and staff.
