| Summary: | The problems concerning the future management of state-aided
(Model C) schools fall into two main categories, namely problems
intrinsic to the Model C schools and the problem of giving
substance to the stated vision of the ANC. Model C schools were
seen as a South African model of school self-management.
A study of the literature relating to school self-management in
general, and how it is practised in various countries, was made
and the management of state-aided (Model C) schools was analyzed.
A impirical investigation was conducted to ascertain the
perceptions of various role-players in school management about
their duties and responsibilities in this regard.
A model for the self-management of state-aided schools, based on
the Caldwell and Spinks' s model, and conforming to various
criteria, is proposed. The proposed model is, in the opinion of
the researcher, applicable not only to State-aided schools, but
to all schools in South Africa as it allows individual schools
to accept as much or as little self-management as is consistent
with the capacity of their communities to provide effective and
efficient service. It also allows schools to accept increases
in self-management as their communities gain in management skills
and expertise. === Educational Studies === D.Ed. (Educational Management)
