The research was conducted within the study field of Project Management as the policy has a systems approach to the management of schools and Project Management can be used in its application.
The study takes the form of a literature study, evaluating approximately 23 sources. These sources contain research by knowledgeable authors on the topics covered in this research. The research is divided into the following sections:
• An introduction explaining the relationship between project management and the Policy of Whole School Development.
• An investigation into the Policy of Whole School Development and its proposed application to ensure quality standards of education. A framework for the evaluation of the contexts of schools to bring about holistic change is proposed.
• An investigation into the systems approach to project management, systems
theory and the requirements for its application in organisations like schools.
• An investigation into the micro- and macro context of a school in a previously disadvantaged area to highlight the social, political and economic problems and their magnitude, thus necessitating a systems approach in dealing with it.
• An investigation into and a comparison of the historical roles and the changing roles of, the problems experienced by and the benefits derived from NGO's and the state respectively as agents of service delivery.
• A proposed project management plan for the implementation of the environmental aspect of whole school development. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studieprojek fokus op 'n ondersoek van die Beleid van "Whole School Development" as 'n metode om 'n kwalitiet opvoeding vir almal op skoolvlak te verseker.
