Abstract
This qualitative study explored the impact of participatory management practices on
learner achievement within the educational context of the Mkhuhlu region. Through a
comprehensive examination of educators' and stakeholders' experiences, the
research addressed critical challenges in educational management as outlined in the
problem statement. Employing semi-structured interviews and document analysis, the
study captured a diverse range of perspectives, facilitating an in-depth understanding
of how participatory management is perceived and implemented across various
educational settings. Thematic analysis was used to identify and interpret complex
themes, reinforcing the study's objectives and providing insights into effective
management practices. Findings revealed that participatory management practices—
when effectively implemented—enhance communication, collaboration, and shared
decision-making, which in turn positively influence learner achievement. Furthermore,
participants identified the need for sustained stakeholder engagement and capacity
building to support effective management practices. This research contributes
valuable insights to the field of educational management, highlighting the significance
of participatory practices in enhancing learner outcomes and informing future
strategies for educational improvement.
