M.Ed. (Educational Management) / Many principals perceive the tuck shop, in South Africa, as a form of additional income to the school. School finances have assumed a greater importance in South African schools. The national education budget is continually curtailed and is continues to remain insufficient. Any additional finance is needed to maintain accepted standards and improve the quality of education on offer (Bisschoff and Mestry 2003). “Schools are becoming increasingly reliant on additional financial resources, hence due consideration should be given to potential sources of finance and the way such finance may be appropriated” (Bisschoff and Mestry 2003:2). There has to be a paradigm shift, of the tuck shop, from a ‘money making’ structure to include a nutrition program. Tuck shops need to re-evaluate the nutrition on offer. The re-evaluation of the tuck shop structure may be one solution in assisting the school’s Principal in addressing the need to acquire additional funds and continue to maintain an acceptable level of education.
