South African schools are in a period of transition form the old system, which existed under the apartheid government and the new one being established by the South African Schools Act (SASA) of 1996. The formulation of School Governing Bodies (SGBs) which are composed of parents, educators and learners became necessary to reverse the past educational disparities. The introduction of these SGBs is, therefore, the result of high demand for community participation in the control of schooling and the involvement of legitimate structures in school activities.enSOCIAL SCIENCES::Social sciences::Education
