Today schools across the country will hold their School Governing Body elections.

Western Cape MEC of Education Debbie Schafer said electing members of a school governing body is significant as it is important to elect skilled, accountable and responsible individuals.

MEC Schafer has also urged parents to be involved in the elections as it will serve the best interest of their children.

Departmental Head Bronagh Casey said many parents do not realise the major responsibilities which SGB’s exercise on behalf.

These include turning their mission policies at schools, code of conduct for learners.

In addition government’s draft core budget they decide on what money should be spent where and further recommend staff appointments for the principal to choose and other staff, Schafer added.
