D.Ed. / At present parents, learners and staff from various cultures, faiths, interests, language needs, learning and cognitive style needs have admission to the same schools. Apart from this, the manner in which a Christian principal manages the school and his management behaviour are to a large extent determined by his belief framework. This, however, presupposes that the Christian principal should be knowledgeable about the various cultural groups in order to display a positive attitude towards these groups. At the same time it is true that each child, regardless of race, colour, faith, culture, sex, age, belief and ethnic origin can be admitted to any school of his/her choice (Botha, 1990 : 41; Bouwer, 1995 : 48; Bray, 1998 : 18). The Christian principal should seriously consider the mission, code of conduct and ethos of his school for all learners to feel welcome. Living by one's beliefs has become a sensitive matter and should be approached with care within a new education system. Perhaps a principal should adapt his management strategy with a diversity of language, faith and culture in public schools in order not to give offense to people who are different-minded. This, however, does not imply that the Christian principal should remain silent about his faith, for he should rather act with wisdom and insight in order to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ (compare Romans 1 : 16). This is just one of the many problems confronting a Christian principal in public schools which gave rise to the motivation for this research. In an effort to overcome the above problems, the following aims were formulated for this study as an inquiry into ; the degree to which the management skills of the Christian principal are influenced by Scriptural principles (traditional management values); the attitude required to realise in practice the understanding of the will of God in order to display the personality traits which are given to the reborn Christian by the Spirit of God and which are related to traditional management values; specific personality traits required from a Christian principal in accordance with the will of God in order to manage effectively; and educators' experience and opinions of specific management values (moral values) in educational management, in order to determine whether principals whose management approach rests on Scriptural principles can indeed manage effectively in public schools.

Evangelical Christians have in recent years manifested great dissatisfaction with public schooling. Because evangelicals represent a large segment of the American populace, their dissatisfaction has had a significant effect on the functioning of the public schools. More importantly, dissatisfaction on the part of evangelicals has led them to form private Christian schools which have drawn pupils from the public ones. This study has analyzed the problems evangelicals face in public education, the historical framework of those problems, and the attempts currently being made to solve them. This has been done from an evangelical perspective. In addition to reviewing the literature available on the subject, the author utilized information gleaned from a study of 31 evangelical youth, and a survey of evangelical educators representing all evangelical colleges offering a degree in education. The study dealt with problems stemming from failure within evangelicalism as well as problems attributable to the public schools. Conclusions and proposals for change were stated based upon the information provided in the study. Proposals included the suggestion that preparations be made for the possibility of a complete evangelical break with public education should immediate and effective efforts not begin to regain evangelical confidence. / Ed.
