Abstract
The focus of this study is on effective communication that can be
used between the district and the circuit in order to optimise
communication. There are traditional forms of communication that
are still used by Departmental officials yet the information conveyed
through those forms of communication take too long to reach the
final destination and as a result thereof the information comes just
days before the deadline or sometimes way after the deadline. This
problem leads to a situation where the work is done in a haphazard
way just because people want to meet the dead line. New forms of
communication such as E-Mail can convey information within a split
of a second all over the wodd The findings reveal that some of the
Chief Superintendents of Education Management are not familiar
with some of the new forms of communication and therefore cannot
even confirm whether those forms of communication are useful or
not The Department of Education will therefore have to introduce
these new forms of communication at district level as well as at circuit level in order to optimise communication between the district and the circuit
