- This study seeks to establish that there are many problems facing the educational system in the Eastern Cape. This has resulted in many children learning in nonconducive environments, and dilapidated infrastructure among others. Noticeably, many teaching and learning are been undertaken under the tress The objectives of the study were: to ascertain the role of leadership on organisational performance in enhancing public services delivery in the ECDOE; to identify and evaluate the current leadership challenges of ECDOE; to identify and evaluate the leadership roles and styles used in ECDOE; to examine the factors affecting performance monitoring and evaluation within ECDOE; to assess the type of culture within ECDOE; and to come up with a model/framework that will enhance efficiency within ECDOE. Both quantitative and qualitative research techniques were utilised in this study, and 40 questionnaires were distributed to the participants. The data were analysed using SPSS. The result of the study shows that there is a huge gap between the DoBE, the school, the community, and other partners. The study also revealed the shortage of resources, and support from districts and the department, also schools in rural areas are neglected, outdated infrastructure, inadequate community participation and inadequate stakeholders’ involvement. The finding from the literature also confirmed that many principals do face various obstacles especially when making efforts to manage their school affairs in order to achieve brilliant, desired goals. The study noted that the government has not done enough in addressing most of the problems facing learners in the Eastern Cape and as a matter of urgency; there is a need for the government to intervene urgently before the educational systems collapsed in the Eastern Cape. The study recommended that the department, the districts, the school, the municipalities, and other government departments should come together to build a better future for South African young minds. The study also recommended the school must build international relationships with the help of universities close to the schools for better performance and success of the schools.
