Abstract

The effective functioning of a school as an organization requires an effective administration. The effective management determines the success of a school as educational and teaching institution (van der Westhuizen 1991). Turozzi (2003) states that technology had the potential to be a valuable change agent in the modern education system. The technological resources can be integrated across administration (Stammen, 2003) The lack of technological support in a school hinders the fulfillment of numerous administrative functions. Effective management leads to quality teaching and (Eraut, 1989). This study looks at how technology impacts on school administration. The study links the development of administrative technological support with institution effectiveness. It also investigates the way these technological resources are used in schools for administrative purposes. The study concentrates on functional aspects of school administration, that is, how the information is stored and made available, and institution effectiveness.
