This study is based on a need for teacher union involvement in the management
of schools to enhance effective teaching and efficient learning. The rationale
behind it was to disclose the current perceptions of school managers concerning
teacher union involvement in the management of schools in the Vryheid region,
with a view to determining the extent to which their perceptions of teacher unions
could be positively influenced to allow for proper consultative school management
as well as active participation of teacher union members in the decision-making
process.
The study revealed that the school managers' perceptions and attitudes are
central to teacher union involvement in the management of schools. If negative,
no effective participatory school management can materialise. The role of the
perceptions and attitudes of school managers in the realisation of the goal of
participative school management is indispensable. The empirical survey and
literature revealed that school managers are in a good position to address the
serious shortcomings regarding the manner in which teacher unions are perceived
in schools. / Educational Leadership and Management / M. Ed. (Education Management)
