Abstract
The aim of this research is to establish the extent to which principals of schools in
Gauteng are implementing co-operative school governance. The shift to co-operative
governance is a result of new legislation, and in particular the South African Schools Act
84 of 1996, which aims at redressing the inequalities of past legislation.
To determine the extent, to which principals are engaged in co-operative governance, a
questionnaire was designed to elicit essential information as to how co-operative
governance has been practically implemented. The research attempted to evaluate the
commitment and dedication of principals to the process of shared decision-making;
decentralisation and accountability; to engendering healthy relations with governors; to
ensure that legislation is complied with as regards the composition of governing bodies; and to encourage governors to attend training.
