| Summary: | This study explores the involvement of learners in aspects of educational management in
senior secondary schools of the North Central District of Botswana.
The findings revealed that:
• The learners should be involved in as many aspects as is possible. The tests of
relevance and expertise can be applied to determine whether the learners can
participate meaningfully in an aspect or not.
• The extent to which the learners can participate was partial. This extent of
participation will allow school managers to take quick decisions in times of
emergency or take a unilateral decision if it is established that the learners will not
make a meaningful contribution to the process of making decisions. In this case too,
the tests of relevance and expertise can be applied.
• The training and guidance of prefects can significantly improve the quality of
participation of learners in management aspects of the school. The training exercise
must include aspects that could be specific to a locality such as culture, politics or
economic status of the community in which the school is situated.
Based on the above findings, recommendations are made and suggestions for future
research are postulated. === Educational Leadership and Management === M. Ed. (Educational Management) |
