Abstract

The need to promote quality service delivery and ensure that schools are managed and governed in a democratic way has led the state in South Africa to enact the South African Schools Act (SASA) 84 of 1996. The SASA (No. 84 of 1996) envisions a participatory, inclusive, transparent, accountable and responsive education system, through creating the enabling structures of School Governing Bodies (SGBs) as vehicles or mechanisms to ensure the realization of these democratic ethos. It is within this vein that the current study sought to investigate the challenges facing the management and governance of schools within the King Williams Town Educational District. Deductive reasoning through the use of quantitative methodology which supported by extensive literature review was employed in conducting the study and the data was elicited through the use of Likert scale questionnaires. The study was anchored upon the decentralization and cooperative governance theories.
