These governing board play a crucial role in determining a school’s direction and works in conjunction with the school principal.
The governing boards are responsible for approving and overseeing a variety of issues including educational projects and the implementation of school budgets, regulation and student supervision policies. The boards are also involved in the choice of school textbooks and other instructional materials, school closures as well as the selection process for the appointment of the school principals and confessional status.
