Abstract
Description
The main objective of the study was to establish whether the statement of the commissioner was
backed by facts on the ground; whether PTAs were corrupt cliques that swindled school funds
instead of developing the schools. This was investigated through three key areas of education
standards: physical resources (infrastructural development), human resources (staff welfare and
development), and non-physical resources to be represented by curriculum development. These
were the three key areas in the Minimum Requirements and Standards set by the Ministry of
Education and Sports (MoES 1998).
