Özet:

Under the international agreements that Turkey is a party, the basic education is the 42th Constitution. It is guaranteed as a free right.  However, because the state charged with this task does not allocate sufficient resources to education and the school’s income resources are scarce, many of the schools’ needs are not satisfied enough. This also guides school managers to find resources in different ways. School managers’ resource search activities appear to have some adverse effects on the school’s administrative function. The purpose of this research is to study the income and expenditure of primary and secondary schools that form the basic education stage, to identify the reasons why parents are encouraged to contribute to the school or keep them away from contribute, and to identify the difficulties that managers face in their income-making activities.  The study is prepared in the phenomenological model of the research methods. The study’s work group consists of the Muratpaşa, Kepez and Konyaaltı districts in Antalya, the aim-based sampling methods, ten primary and secondary school managers and their guardians selected according to the maximum diversity sampling. In the study, the data was obtained through a semi-configured interview form. The data is analyzed using the content analysis method. The study found that the income in schools is the most provided from the donations of the guardian and the cantin income, the expenditure is the most staff expenditure and the expenditure of the schools is insufficient; the managers are uncertainty, transparency, insufficient expenditure and the ministry's statements on the donations are removed from contributing to the guardian; the managers' resource search activities have a negative impact on the management activities. In particular, the funding of primary education institutions should be paid by the government in such a way that certain quality standards of these institutions should be taken into account.
