ABREH  \nUniversity of Cape Coast  \nABSTRACT  \nIn this study, School Management Committees in Akatsi South and Upper Manya Kroboof Ghana to examine their involvement and participation in school based management practices. A phenomenological approach was used to unearth four variables that links to school-based management that is carried out by SMC members. The findings ofthe study showed that the current state of stakeholder involvement and participation in school-based management within selected communities in these two districts are not well coordinated. Besides, school governance structures were notfully operational at their best. The work of the School Management Committees was usually left to the Chairman and in some cases to the Parent Teachers Association chair. There was a limited collaboration between the entire SMC membership and the schools they serve. Additionally, committee planning and implementation issues were significant concerns. The study recommended that SMCs be revitalised and their roles and responsibilities are unpacked for better targeting. The study also suggests changing the management activities to transform the face of activities of SMCsto improve educational provision and administration in the localities they operate.  \nBACKGROUND OF THE STUDY  \nSchooling and learning outcomes are at the crossroads in Ghana. Several factors have either been accused or excused at one point in time or the other. The persistent widening gap in performances among state approved schools (characterised by the public and private schools; endowed and less endowed schools; resourced and under resourced schools) is alarming. It is due to large stocks of teaching and learning resources in the private schools as against the public schools. Also, ongoing collaborative partnerships parents and guardians show in private schools are different from what happens in the public schools.  \nEducation and training play a unique role inhuman capital development that tends to have a considerable effect on the economic development of nations (Abreh, 2011; Venkatraja & Indira, 2011). Besides, formal education is asocial institution that seeks to equip individuals with essential cognitive, psycho motor and affective abilities which in turn influences the economic well being of nations. Thus schools become the hub for training and graduating enrollees. Atthe school level, some activities capitalised as either school management or operation issues as denominators of school effectiveness and efficiency. The formative years of future leaders, technocrats and indeed human capital needed for accelerated economic development is contingent on foundations of education and schooling. For instance, lifelong learning processes of the child begin from the early years where basic literacy, numeracy and essential life skills are acquired. Furthermore, Colclough (1996) and Blaug (1970) confirm the need to manage education and schooling well as education is both beneficial to the individual undergoing it and the society as a whole where the person resides or operates from.  \nEducational Planning 61 Vol. 24, No. 3  \nTo achieve the group goal that education and schooling present to the next generation of leaders, provision of essential human capital demands for effective management and operations of schools makes the need to examine the role that communities play in the management and operations of schools all the more important. The hard truth is children spend the majority of their time at home than in schools. In Ghana, the Ministry of Education (MOE) supports the operations of schools basically through the Ghana Education Service (GES) . The development partners, as well as Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), have made several efforts to make school-based management efficient and effective.
