Thesis (DTech (Human Resources Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2005. / This thesis describes a model for developing and implementing leadership strategies in any public school and Education Department in South Africa. To shape this model, first of all, a general literature review was undertaken. Transformational, transactional, developmental, competency-based and instructional leadership, as well as leadership styles, leadership principles, the human dynamics of leadership, qualities of leadership and the role of leadership in change were researched and studied. Although the National Education Department and the Western Cape Education Department place great emphasis on effective leadership, newly appointed educational leaders and managers often feel they would have liked more induction and training regarding leadership than they received. The Western Cape Education Department (WCED) has programmes whereby they do capacity-building work sessions with educational leaders. The mentioned programmes are mostly held once a year for newly appointed leaders in education over a period of two days. An educational leader can only attend a work session once. The educational leader has a great responsibility towards all stakeholders and must therefore be well equipped as a leader. However, many problems regarding the lack of leadership skills, effectiveness, managing of the curriculum, staff and resources in schools have necessitated the Western Cape Education Department to bring out a circular on effective leadership, emphasising the role and responsibilities of the educational leader regarding effective leadership and management. The Education Department wants to maintain the efficacy of academic, leadership and managerial standards at schools. A well structured developmental, corrective training mechanism is an attempt to deal with the poor work performance and abilities of principals and senior staff members. The national minister of education, Mrs. Grace Naledi Pandor now recently made a announcement that she intend to empower educational leaders through workshops in 2006 regarding their responsibilities, leadership capacity, and effectiveness. Against this background, the researcher undertook a survey to determine the extent to which leadership strategies are being employed at schools in the Western Cape. A questionnaire Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used to gather information and data. Structured interviews and a focus group discussion were also held.

M.Ed. (Education Management) / Traditionally it has been accepted that if schools need to be improved, it has to be done within the metaphor of schools being organizations. The general belief was that within this framework schools can realize the full potential of the youth. History and reality has revealed to educational leaders and reseachers that schools have not really served the real purpose they were created for. This revelation entails that schools don't only fail to ensure optimal learning opportunities and facilities to all participants; they also fail to ensure a safe and natural environment. The support for this argument can be derived from the fact that during the last two to three decades education, and therefore educational management, has gone through numerous phases of change, restructuring and renewal. The fact of the matter is that mankind is not satisfied with the contribution that education and educational management has made to ensure the prosperous survival of humanity in an always changing world. This has become a tremendous headache for educational leaders. As if this is not enough, the number of interested parties in the provision and management of education is always increasing. The vociferous demands of these people with regard to educational matters is obviously something that educational managers must always bear in mind. The problems of educational leaders and managers are definitely not made easier by the fact that sUbordinates, especially teachers, are increasingly showing dissatisfaction with the manner in which teaching is being managed and supervised. Teachers are mostly heavily aggrieved by the fact that their true status as professionals and their sense of responsibilty as professional educators are undermined by current and prevailing bureaucratical supervisional practices and processes.
