Parents are now also part of the leadership and management team ofthe school. They also must contribute to policymaking. It means that theymust acquire certain skills to be productive and to deliver service in' the bestinterest of the school and the community.The South African Schools Act (1996) made provision for the need forcapacity building amongst governing bodies.
