- Description: D.Ed. , At present parents, learners and staff from various cultures, faiths, interests, language needs, learning and cognitive style needs have admission to the same schools. Apart from this, the manner in which a Christian principal manages the school and his management behaviour are to a large extent determined by his belief framework. This, however, presupposes that the Christian principal should be knowledgeable about the various cultural groups in order to display a positive attitude towards these groups. At the same time it is true that each child, regardless of race, colour, faith, culture, sex, age, belief and ethnic origin can be admitted to any school of his/her choice (Botha, 1990 : 41; Bouwer, 1995 : 48; Bray, 1998 : 18). The Christian principal should seriously consider the mission, code of conduct and ethos of his school for all learners to feel welcome. Living by one's beliefs has become a sensitive matter and should be approached with care within a new education system. Perhaps a principal should adapt his management strategy with a diversity of language, faith and culture in public schools in order not to give offense to people who are different-minded. This, however, does not imply that the Christian principal should remain silent about his faith, for he should rather act with wisdom and insight in order to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ (compare Romans 1 : 16). This is just one of the many problems confronting a Christian principal in public schools which gave rise to the motivation for this research. In an effort to overcome the above problems, the following aims were formulated for this study as an inquiry into ; the degree to which the management skills of the Christian principal are influenced by Scriptural principles (traditional management values); the attitude required to realise in practice the understanding of the will of God in order to display the personality traits which are given to the reborn Christian by the Spirit of God and which are related to traditional management values; specific personality traits required from a Christian principal in accordance with the will of God in order to manage effectively; and educators' experience and opinions of specific management values (moral values) in educational management, in order to determine whether principals whose management approach rests on Scriptural principles can indeed manage effectively in public schools.

- Description: M.Ed. (Educational Management) , The problem which initiated, this research project can probably be found in the professional experience of resedential hostel staff. The problem is that ineffective selection of senior housemasters who are not equipped to handle administrative matters probably impedes effective hostel management, furthermore, this implies that such a senior housemaster lacks the necessary insight and skills to plan, maintain and promote hostel effectiveness. It is against this background that the purpose of this research project should be viewed. In order to realise the objectives set, screening and selection have been chosen as prerequisites for the appointment- of a senior housemaster. The purpose of screening and selection is to appoint the most efficient person for the post. The research project seems to indicate that personal interviews with candidates for managerial posts can be very valuable as far as screening and selection are concerned. Although an interview must be structured, research has also shown that at times the wrong person has been selected in a managerial post. Furthermore the lack of in-service training of senior housemasters has been explicated. This project has attempted to clearly define the hostel policy as a frame of reference for in-service training. Special attention has been paid to the managerial functions of planning, organizing, guidance and control as guidelines for in-service training. These managerial functions ought to be a calculated action in the hostel policy. It has furthermore been proven that a need for training arises if an inefficient person is appointed as senior housemaster. The success of in-service training is always linked to effective programme development and effective evaluation that in turn is based on valid norms and standards. The managerial duty of the senior housemaster is carried out within a fixed organizing structure.
