Abstract
M.Ed. (Education)
The private school has become a common feature in black
education in recent years. The development of this new
education phenomenon can no longer be underest imated and
should become a field of concern in the community.
The rejection of Bantu Education by the black community and
the school boycotts that followed during the 1980s witnessed
the emergence of a new type of private school in the
Johannesburg Region. commonly known as the "inner-city"/flyby-
night/street private school/college.
The researcher has observed that a few private schools achieve
good standard ten external examination results while the
majority do not. The researcher investigates this state of
affairs by answering the question: How can the organisational
structures be improved and made effective to enhance the
positive contribution of the private school?
With the support of the State and the community , strong
management and administrative procedures should be introduced
in the private school.
