Management of schools: some aspects of educational management

Proper school management means making the school functional. Through the devolution of responsibilities, schools are provided with enhanced flexibility and autonomy in managing their own operation and resources for school development so as to develop an environment that facilitates continuous improvement. Schools are also required to increase accountability in school management through the participation of key stakeholders in decision making. Teachers, parents, alumni and community members have their roles as managers in the management of school. School management is related with formulation of policies that best suit the needs of the school as well as the overall interests of the students. It includes school planning with a view of creating an ideal learning environment for their students and nurturing talents. Present paper attempts to study varied aspects of educational management in the context of school environment.
