    Evaluating the participation of Learners’ Councils in management of Three Secondary Schools, Kapiri-Mposhi District in Central Province, Zambia.
    (KNU, 2020) MWEWA, Davies
    This study examines the role of School Councils in secondary school management in Kapiri-Mposhi District, Zambia, focusing on their establishment, operation, and strategies for improving participation. It involved 57 participants from three schools, including headteachers, deputy headteachers, heads of departments, school council members, and parents. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions. Findings show that while school councils exist, they are underutilized due to a lack of skills among students to contribute effectively. The study recommends capacity building for council members and ensuring their input is valued in decision-making, particularly regarding school finances.
