Abstract
By almost any measure, most South African public schools, and especially schools in the Western
Cape, have under-performed academically. For a number of years, there has existed a wide degree of
consensus among education stakeholders, and particularly in government, that the problems in our
schools extend beyond mere academic under-achievement. Principals need to be occupied with the
tasks of managing and leading teaching and learning, that is, instruction leadership, and not managing
routine administrative matters only. In recognising the potential of school administrative personnel to
provide relief and support for the administrative role of principals, the Western Cape Government
initiated a training course in July, 2008 for school business administrators. The course was modelled
on a very successful training course developed in the United Kingdom.
