Description
This work shows the kind of research now being undertaken in leading educational institutions regarding the implementation of local school management policies. It shows that the introduction of these policies is by no means as simple or easy as its proponents believe. The book presents comments, conclusions and suggestions which require serious consideration if local management policies are to be sensibly undertaken. It is aimed at policy-makers, administrators, teachers, community leaders, parents and all those involved in the education service.
