Abstract

Conclusion. To address the challenges that school management teams face, this study recommends that the Department of Education should ensure that rural schools receive equitable and adequate funding to meet their needs. To improve access to resources, the department can implement targeted funding programmes that address the specific challenges of these school settings. This could include financial support for upgrading the technological infrastructure, providing high-quality educational materials, and securing larger facilities.
