The management level such as leadership and governance, curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement and management of resources are significantly correlated to the governance in authority and accountability in terms of positive leadership, planning, work management, information asset management, administration of resources and decision making. And the respondent?s perception of the level of governance of basic education such as authority and accountability are significantly correlated to school performance in terms of service quality and school-based management as revealed by Pearson r correlation analysis. The findings gathered in the study led to the formulation of the conclusion: Since there is a significant relationship between governance of basic education and that of service quality, management levels and school performance," the null hypothesis is therefore not sustained." It is suggested that school principals may maintain open and good communication, as well as encourage workplace camaraderie and cooperation, since this fosters harmonic connections, which leads to increased productivity and support in accomplishing school goals.
