type: CreativeWork
description: This research examined the role of school management teams (SMTs) in facilitating quality education in schools. The study made use of questionnaires to establish the perceptions of SMTs towards quality education they facilitate in their schools. This study was undertaken to investigate the challenges that are encountered by school management teams in facilitating quality education in schools. With regard to management, the research investigates the roles of school management teams such as building trust to support quality education, developing an enabling school culture and climate, demonstrating appropriate leadership. From the review of literature on the role of school management teams, the study provides a comprehensive exposition of what school management entails, especially as far as curricular management, visioning and strategy formulation, is concerned. Against this background, the study investigates the role of SMTs in secondary schools in the Insuze - Noodsberg Ward in Ndwedwe Circuit. On the basis of empirical work, the study makes recommendations regarding the role of SMTs. The recommendations made are a contribution towards improving SMTs and leading them in a process which can truly enhance them to perform their roles of facilitating quality education in schools.
