The only two organisations in South Africa that have been representing the interests of school governing bodies (SGBs) have both split -- ahead of the next round of SGB elections that will start next month. Though the new SGB landscape, which now consists of four organisations, has divided an already weak parent sector, it will give SGBs a wider choice in terms of membership. The two new bodies have no links with established education organisations, according to the Mail and Guardian.
