Abstract
Through the analysis of an 18-school research project that was conducted in the Western Cape in 1994, the aim of this report is to emphasize the need for and importance of effectively researching the educational setting in order to obtain quality data. This task will take the form of a general discussion concerning 'what information...' should be collected and 'how...' it should be 'collected, analyzed, and interpreted' from the perspective that it is 'critical to remember that decision-makers require information to be provided promptly... in order to make informed policy decisions' (Ross & Postlethwaite, 1992:1-2).
