Tartalmi leírás:
This study delved into the influence of decentralisation on school governance, teacher accountability, resource management, and equity in resource allocation among Senior High Schools in Ghana. Using a quantitative design, data were gathered from 150 respondents, including teachers, headteachers, and community stakeholders, and analysed with SPSS. The results showed moderate community participation and a positive association between community involvement and academic performance. Regression analysis revealed that community participation accounted for between 18% and 27% of the variance in teacher accountability and school resource management, while decentralisation contributed modestly to equity in resource distribution. The study concludes that decentralisation is linked with stronger participatory governance, although gaps in resource fairness remain. Strengthening local capacity and expanding stakeholder engagement are suggested to support transparency and sustainability in SHS administration.
