The purpose of this study was to determine:
* the nature of a state governed, state supported and private
school, and those involved in the financial events in the three
types of schools; and
* the financial management task of a state governed,
supported and private school.
In the literature study the nature of state governed,
state
state
supported and private schools was discussed from a financial
management perspective. Attention was paid to organisations
involved in the financial management of the different types of
schools. In the literature the financial management task of state
governed, state supported and private schools was also examined,
with special reference to:
- the principles of education management regarding finances;
- the budget of education management regarding finances;
- financial record-keeping, reporting and analysis; and
- financial resources.
An empirical investigation was undertaken by means of a structured
mail questionnaire to determine the state of the financial
management task in the three types of schools.
The most important findings originating from the literature study
and empirical investigation, was the fact that state supported and
private schools are managed strictly according to scientific
management principles, which is to a lesser degree the case with
state governed schools. In spite of the fact that principals of
state governed schools gave a positive indication of sound
financial practices in their schools, there are aspects like
parent involvement, that need to be addressed when compared to
state supported and private schools. At many state governed
schools there is no parent involvement, making the existence of
parent management committees impossible. This is in contrast to a
large degree of parent involvement in school activities• at state
supported and private schools. Although state supported schools
include Model C-type of schools as well as farm schools, there is
an important difference between these two types of schools, which
is evident in the empirical investigation.
In conclusion, recommendations for further research were made. / Skripsie (MEd (Onderwysbestuur))--PU vir CHO, 1996
