Over decades most African countries and South Sudan is an exceptional are faced with a huge number of unqualified teachers, autocratic leadership and poor educational governance. Educational Decentralization brings the management and governance of schools closure to the local community. This book emphasises the importance of community participation in school governance through which the community is represented through formal structures like the Parent Teachers association (PTA) and School Management Committee (SMC) at the school level in the management and governance of a school. This book therefore provides scientific analysis that can be useful to school managers, policy makers, researcher fellows and development partners, in school governance and management.
