This study focused on the management challenges faced by CYCC schools after the transfer from the Department of Education to the Department of Social Development. The report followed a qualitative approach using a case study. It explored how the management of the recently transferred schools in the Gauteng Province experienced challenges because of the transfer. In as much as there is literature on challenges that special schools face in general, extraordinarily little research has been conducted on management challenges faced by CYCC schools, as they are relatively new in the system. The study also discusses the idea of conceptual framework. Qualitative research methods were used to collect data in this study. A purposive sampling strategy was used to select eight (8) participants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with two (2) principals and six (6) HoDs drawn from two CYCC schools. The interviews were conducted after school hours and field notes together with recordings were taken during the interviews. The data collected was decoded, analysed, and categorised. The main research outcomes indicated that change of management in the two schools resulted in challenges such as power struggle between the two departments, limited resources that led to workload, and stress on teachers. The findings also indicate that the use of collaborative leadership, where the HoDs played the role of decision makers and principals as supervisors, made it possible for participants in this study to manage the running of the schools. Recommendations to the two departments and for future research are then made. bs2026 Education Management and Policy Studies MEd Unrestricted SDG-04: Quality education SDG-16: Peace, justice and strong institutions 2021-02-12T09:37:27Z 2021-02-12T09:37:27Z 20/10/02 2020 Dissertation Magadze, TT 2020, The management challenges in child and youth care centre schools, MEd Dissertation, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, viewed yymmdd <http://hdl.handle.net/2263/78466> S2020 http://hdl.handle.net/2263/78466 en © 2020 University of Pretoria.
