Description

This book begins with a review of 'decentralisation' in schools, highlighting the problem of how to increase school-level autonomy while ensuring an orderly delivery of high quality education for a whole country that is equitable across geographic, socioeconomic and cultural divisions. Case studies of school-based managed models in six countries are described, focusing on a radical system in place in Victoria, Australia. Leadership is a key function in school management reform, especially with respect to the delegation of financial management.
