A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF
EDUCATION
At the University of Zululand in fulfilment or partial fulfilment of the
Requirements for the degree of Master of Education in the
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL PLANNING AND ADMINISTRATION, 2000. / This research examined the role of parents and community leaders in the development and maintenance of school culture in the Inanda District schools.
The study made use of interviews and questionnaires to determine whether parents and community leaders perceive themselves as role players in developing the school culture.
On the basis of the views from respondents, the study concluded that although parents and community leaders are aware of their role but they do not seem to be willing to do it.
The research project, however, established that a high percentage of community leaders are not aware of what is taking place in the school. A high percentage of community leaders responded that there was poor communication between the schools and the community.
This seems to limit their contribution to the development of school culture. The study makes recommendations which may facilitate the role of parents in creating the appropriate school culture.
