Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the functioning of the SGB's in public primary
schools. For this purpose, the researcher collected data from both past and recent literature
and three public primary schools in the Ekurhuleni South district in Gauteng regarding how
effectively SGB's are functioning. Observations of the proceedings were undertaken during
SGB several meetings. Unstructured interviews, with a small purposive sample of
informants, supplemented the data obtained from the observations. All the data collected in
this way were analysed, discussed and synthesised.
The major findings of this study are: The efforts made by the DoE to provide training; this
was regarded as inadequate to address the complex problems experienced by SGB's.
It is therefore recommended that the DoE should provide more intensified SGB
developmental training programmes for SGB's and that further research be undertaken
regarding the effectiveness of SGB's in public primary schools in South Africa.
