M.Ed. (Education) / The private school has become a common feature in black education in recent years. The development of this new education phenomenon can no longer be underest imated and should become a field of concern in the community. The rejection of Bantu Education by the black community and the school boycotts that followed during the 1980s witnessed the emergence of a new type of private school in the Johannesburg Region. commonly known as the "inner-city"/flyby- night/street private school/college. The researcher has observed that a few private schools achieve good standard ten external examination results while the majority do not. The researcher investigates this state of affairs by answering the question: How can the organisational structures be improved and made effective to enhance the positive contribution of the private school? With the support of the State and the community , strong management and administrative procedures should be introduced in the private school.
