regarded as effective management is done and looks at the different role players that
are responsible for a school’s management. In this study the primary focus was
principals. The concept of quality education was also investigated and other
elements that could influence the outcomes of quality education was discussed. This
study also looked at the major projects and studies currently being done to
investigate school effectiveness.
Research questions and objectives were formulated through an extensive literature
review and research data was collected by means of a quantitative research method.
The responses were analised by means of statistical methods and the findings
discussed, which included some major findings about the link between non-monetary
inputs, socio-economic conditions of learners and the teacher-learner ratio’s that
have an impact on the quality of education given to learners. Based on these
findings, recommendations for principals were made to increase the effective
management of schools, as well as recommendations for further studies. / MBA, North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
