| dc.description.abstract | This study examines how and the extent to which parents participate in the decision making process in school governing bodies in relation to teacher employment. To determine the nature and extent of parental participation in school governance in relation to teacher employment, the study used qualitative research methods for data collection and a critical theory for data analysis. The study comprised six public high schools from the Bush Buckridge rural areas situated in Mpumalanga Province with a total of twenty-four parents (four parents from each school) selected for face-to-face interviews. An interview schedule to test the following was used: background of schools and participants; dynamics and procedures followed in school governing bodies' meetings; parental participation in decision-making; the role played by parents in decision making around teacher employment; parents' perceptions of their role around teacher employment and communication between parents and the Department of Education. | en_US |
