Abstract
School administration and management system (SAMS) is designed to match the structure, management tasks, instructional processes and special needs of the school. Despite initiatives meant to widen the use and availability of management information systems and other generic software productivity tools, some schools in South Africa are still using the manual management and administrative information systems. There is disproportionate operational, adoption, and use of information systems in developing countries. This paper reports on a research in progress on the adoption and use of SAMS in South African schools. The aim of the research is to explore and describe the critical social, cultural and organisational and contextual factors which may influence the successful implementation, adoption and use of school administration and management systems in South African schools. TAM is employed as theoretical basis of the paper. The pilot study results are reported. The computer literacy and SAMS training of users is which are facilitating conditions are very low.
