Description
Originally published in 1982. This book is a collection of specially commissioned papers by writers who are closely involved in education management as practitioners, researchers and trainers. It provides readers with an insight to some of the major theoretical considerations in managing educational institutions. It offers some guidelines for rethinking the nature of education management and the development of an appropriate rationale and philosophy. Readers will obtain a knowledge of humanistic approaches to education management and gain an understanding of how the complex organizations called schools and colleges etc. can be sensitively managed. Industrial perspectives are more sensitive to the needs of education than is often thought - frequently more insightful and concerned than those of theorists who have only educational experience.
