I would like to thank the Department of Education for introducing us to such a

programme. It will be of great benefit especially to the newly appointed

principals who still have far to go, as well as to the older principals. It has

seriously impacted in my management practice, especially with regard to my

SMT and SGB…

Principal, Obisini Primary, Pomeroy Ward

I view PMDP as a ship that has been designed to rescue the sinking schools.

Frankly the programme was tailored to develop and empower principals with

sound knowledge and skills to be proficient to all areas where we do not

implement or put in to good practice the theories of Leadership and

Management. This programme has a distinct difference to any other

programmes ever presented because it is conducted by knowledgeable

facilitators …

Principal, Landelani Primary, Pomeroy

8. Comments by Participants

PMDP Rollout Progress Report January 2011.ppt 10

The programme is impacting positively in schools as principals are realizing

the benefits of working together with all stakeholders, the policies of the

Department which have been accumulating dust in the principals office are

being dusted and put to use. What excites me is the reflection in the form of

outputs which takes place after each and every module... I recommend that all

principals need to be developed in this programme including ward managers.

Ms DND Ndlovu, SEM, Nkande Ward

The project is excellent. It is “capacitative”. After attending it, you are born

again as a school manager. It has made a remarkable impact in my

management practices. For instance I have developed a number of

documents / policies as a result of this project. Exciting areas are SGB

improvement plan, Curriculum Management Tracker and Management of

assets. I wish all school managers should be involved in this project because

it is developmental in the nature. It is indispensable if we are serious about

proper school management.

MB Xulu, Mabuthela High School, Mzumbe Ward

10. Quality Assurance

2009 Moderators Report

• The moderators were impressed that in a short period, managers acquired those essential management skills needed to succeed. It was pleasing to note that the majority of candidates completed their tasks given the challenges faced in school during this part of the year.

• We are confident that if the course learning is internalized, made meaning of and applied in practice in the school, then real transformation of schools will take place

2010 Moderators Report

• The vast majority of portfolios were of a commendable standard. It was evident that managers were able to develop a school policy, see the link between policy and practice, link their budgets to service delivery and develop a clear vision for their school in the context of the surrounding community.

• It was pleasing that candidates had completed their tasks despite the challenges faced by the schools during this part of the year…
