This study explores the role of the principal in the management of parent involvement in
secondary schools in Northern Province. A literature study investigated existing theories and
models of parent involvement; parent involvement in the South African context and the
provision of education in South Africa in historical perspective. It also investigated the
managerial role of the principal in parent involvement.
A qualitative investigation in three secondary schools in Northern Province was done. Data
were gathered by means of participant observation in-depth interviews with principals and
focus-group interviews with teachers and three parents on the school governing bodies.
Analysed data revealed the following findings: principals lack knowledge on parent
involvement and schools lack policies and organisational structures dealing with parent
involvement as well as home-school relations.
As a result of these findings, there is a need to equip principals with ways in which they can involve parents in their schools. |
