School Management is an emerging concept with empirical and theoretical implications. The book is an indepth study of school administration and organization and gives modern ideas about various issues and trends in school management. In recent years it has been felt that for success of any educational schemes and projects a good structure of management and qualified personnel are essential. School being the lowest and oldest structure, needs to be revamped and reoriented to the current needs and requirements. This is a book which contains a very reasoned, non-polemical and systematic analysis of the major types of efforts to change and improve schools. At the same time, it indicates why most of these efforts have produced meager results. The reasons are many but among the most important are those that have to do with matters of scope, implementation, substantive focus, a shallow conception of the culture of the school, and the purposes of schooling. The book is directed toward a clientele of students in School Management theory and problem analysis groups, as well as to school administrators seeking to examine their problems and policies from perspectives that go beyond their own personal experience. The book will provide readers with a logical structure for describing, documenting, and analyzing School problems and methodological insights that go beyond those currently available in the literature.
