The purpose of this study was to determine the challenges facing the principals in
managing the school finances. The research was conducted around Bojanala West
Region of the North West Province.
From the total of 369 schools in Bojanala West Region, a simple random sampling of
(N=75) schools was done. From each sampled school four (4) of the following were
requested to participate in the study, the principal and or the deputy principal, 1 HOD, 2
educators.
The education system in South Africa has changed drastically, whereby financial
management has been vested upon the shoulders of the SGB's. However SASA
provides the guidelines for the SGB's and the principals on their roles and
responsibilities in managing finances of schools. The department of education provides
training for the SGB's and the principals in relation to school finance management. Little
knowledge of the contents of SASA or misinterpretation by the school finance committee
may lead the school to be a victim of mismanagement or misappropriation of funds in
the form of theft or fraud. / (M.Ed.) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2005
