Human Resource Management (HRM) is the function in an organisation or school that focuses on the recruitment of, management of, and providing direction for the people who work in the organisation .  Some schools have their own HR departments.  Others rely on the HR available to them through the Department of Education.  Either way, it is important for members of school management teams to have a basic understanding of HRM in order to run their schools and manage their staff effectively.

Concepts of leadership are changing internationally, and South Africa is no exception in interrogating past perceptions of leadership and management. How organisations need to move forward can no longer be understood by using the same models, language and analysis that served leaders in the past. The leaders that South Africa needs must be both inspirational and inspired; have a vision and be able to enthuse others to share it; manage chaos and complexity while ensuring that there is still enough stability to ensure the smooth daily operations of the organisation.

Management is a function that must be exercised in any organisation; leadership is a relationship between the leader and the led that can energize an organisation. Leadership should be distinguished from management.

The National Policy Framework for Teacher Education and Development in South Africa states that, the National Teacher Education Audit conducted in 1995 showed that a third of the teaching force at that time was engaged in qualification-driven in-service education, and that in many instances, though there were considerable rewards in terms of salary increases, such qualifications had little or no impact on classroom practice. At the same time it was noted that “a large majority of teachers need(ed) to strengthen their subject knowledge base, pedagogical content knowledge and teaching skills.” Therefore, raising the quality of teacher performance through teacher development programmes became essential for South Africa to improve the overall performance of the education system. The Oxbridge Academy defines CPD ‘as a term used to describe learning activities that professionals take part in to develop and enhance their skills’.
