The public accountability of secondary schools in the Johannesburg North District

This study was undertaken with the purpose of analysing the public accountability system of
secondary schools in the Johannesburg North District. It also tested the relationship between
the accountability system and the effectiveness and efficiency of secondary schools. Over and
above principals, learners and parents, the study also utilised numerous published literature to
analyse the current accountability system.
The findings of the empirical study revealed that there were disparities between the literature
review and the current accountability system. Three major findings were made by this study.
Firstly, there is a lack of synergy between internal and external accountability systems.
Secondly, there are different accountability systems used by different secondary schools in the
same District and lastly grade twelve results are used to measure the effectiveness and
efficiency of secondary schools in the chosen District.
In conclusion, proposals which may assist in improving the current accountability system
were made. / Public Administration and Management / M. Tech. (Public Management)
