SCHOOL MANAGEMENT

1.0. INTRODUCTION
School management is a process of leading the school
towards development through not only the optimum use of the
human resources, physical sources, principles and concepts
that help in achieving all the objectives of the school but also
the proper coordination and adjustment among all of them.
The organizing role expects teachers to make arrangements
and develop an orderly structure to combine all elements in
classroom processes into a unified whole. Well organizing is
closely associated with systematic planning. Further, planning is
concerned with identification of appropriate activities, organizing
is concerned with making arrangements and structuring the
classroom to implement classroom activities. The role of
teacher as an organizer is to link planning with all other roles of
communicating, motivating and controlling.
1.1. SCHOOL MANAGEMENT: CONCEPT, DEFINITION,
MEANING, CHARACTERISTICS AND SCOPE
The term ‘management’ is very comprehensive. It is certainly
broader than organization and administration. Management
means the act of getting people together to accomplish desired
goals. Management comprises planning, organizing, resourcing,
leading or directing and controlling an organization (a group
of one or more people or entities) or effort for the purposes of
accomplishing a goal.
The word management comes from Latin, namely from the
origin of the word ‘manus’ which means hand and ‘agree’ which
means to do. The words are combined into ‘manager’ which mean
2.  UNIT 2 unit 1

handling. Managers is translated into English in the form of verbs


to manage, with the noun management, and managers for those
who carry out management activities. Management comes from
the word “to manage” which means to manage, regulate, drive,
control, handle, manage, organize, run, carry out, lead. In
the book written by Made Pidarta explained that in Terry’s
opinion, “management is a district process consisting of
planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, performed
to determine and accomplished stated objectives by the use of
human beings and other resources” Management is an art and a
science; it is an art as it involves application of skills and it is a
science as it is a body of systematic body of knowledge developed
through experimentation and observation.
1.1.1. Definitions of Management
Some definitions of management given by eminent authors
are given below:
“Management is the art of getting things done through and
with the people in formally organized group” – Koontz
“Management is a multipurpose organ than manages worker
and work” – Drucker
“Management is the art of directing and inspiring people”
– Mooney & Railey
“ Management is the art and science of decision making and
leadership” – Donal J. Clough
“Management is a distinct process consisting of planning,
organizing, actuating and controlling performed to determine
and accomplish stated objectives by the use of human beings and
other resources” – George R. Terry
The use of means and resources for realizing the specific
objectives is known as management.

1.1.2. Meaning of School


GG School is a happy home, a sacred shrine, a social centre, a
state in miniature of society.
GG The school is one of the formal agencies deliberately
founded by man to fulfill some of the vital needs of the
human society.
Educational Management is a goal oriented activity. It
involves  group efforts and an organized work and performance 
towards the attainment of certain pre-determined goals in an
educational institution.
1.1.3. Meaning of School Management
GG School management means running the school along the
desired educational policies. It takes into account all aspects
of the school (policies, material and human resources,
programmes, activities, equipments etc.) and integrates
them into a fruitful whole.

GG Good school management motives the best efforts of the
teachers and students.
GG According to Indian Education Commission 1964-1966 says
“the destiny of India is how being shaped in the classroom”.
GG Schools are to be the first class nurseries for the education
of children in democratic citizenship which India needs to
make its democracy permanently viable.
1.1.4. Definitions of School Management
EE Paul Monroe: (1913), states: “School management, as
a body of educational doctrine, comprises a number of
principles and precepts relating primarily to the technique of
classroom procedure, and derived largely from the practice
of successful teachers”.
EE According to K. Joshi says that “school is not a building
4.  UNIT 2
of bricks and mortor. It is a meeting place of a two souls –
teacher and taught. It is Spiritual development.
EE [Link] Page and [Link] has written in International
Dictionary of Education (1978): They say that Educational
Management is the “Theory and practice of the organization
and administration of existing establishments and systems”.
EE According to Balakrishna Joshi says that “The progress of
a nation is decided not in legislature, not in court, not in
factories, but in schools”.
EE According to John Dewey, “The school is a special
environment where a certain quality of life and certain types
of activities and occupations are provided with the object of
securing child’s development along desirable lines”.
Educational management is an arrangement in the field of
educational work carried out through planning, organizing,
staffing, coaching, coordinating, communicating, motivating,
budgeting, controlling, controlling, controlling, evaluating and
reporting activities systematically to achieve quality educational
goals. From the various statements above, a conclusion can be
drawn that education management is a system of management and
utilization of all educational resources to carry out systematic
and systemic cooperation processes so that effective education
implementation can be realized and efficient in order to realize
the national education goals that have been aspired.
School management is a process of leading the school
towards development through not only the optimum use of the
human resources, physical sources, principles and concepts that
help in achieving all the objectives of the school but also the
proper coordination and adjustment among all of them.
Thus, school/classroom management
GG Is a process
GG Is a social process
School Management  .5

GG Involves group effort


GG Aims at achieving pre-determined goals
GG Is a distinct entity
GG Is system of authority
GG Is required at all levels of organisation
Management gains importance in the light of achieving the
objectives of a school and planning for the same. It involves
varied activities and co-ordination among all the stake holders.

with the co-ordination and cooperation necessary for attaining the
goal with reference to classroom processes.
Classroom management entails three basic functions viz.,
i. Planning, by which objectives, procedures are selected.
ii. Control, by which the conformity of performance to
plans is assured.
iii. Communication, by which information is transferred
both internally and externally.

School Management  .7

activities could be at the school level, at the college level, at the


university level or at the control level. Anything done to improve
the quality of education at any stage may be ranging from the
supply of material, human and financial resources to the highest
cultural or academic needs-comes under the scope of educational
management.
1.2. PARTICIPATORY AND NON- PARTICIPATORY
MANAGEMENT
Advantages of Participative Management
Undoubtedly participative approach to management
increases the stake or ownership of employees. But there is more
to it. The following points elucidate the same.
EE Increase in Productivity: An increased say in decision
making means that there is a strong feeling of association
now. The employee now assumes responsibility and takes
charges. There is lesser new or delegation or supervision
from the manager. Working hours may get stretched on their
own without any compulsion or force from the management.
All this leads to increased productivity.
EE Job Satisfaction: In lots or organizations that employ
participative management, most of the employees are
satisfied with their jobs and the level of satisfaction id very
high. This is especially when people see their suggestions
and recommendations being implemented or put to practice.
Psychologically, this tells the individual employee that, ‘he
too has a say in decision making and that he too is an integral
component of the organization and not a mere worker’.
EE Motivation: Increased productivity and job satisfaction
cannot exist unless there is a high level of motivation in the
employee. The vice versa also holds true! Decentralized
decision making means that everyone has a say and everyone
is important.
8.  UNIT 2
EE Improved Quality: Since the inputs or feedback comes
from people who are part of the processes at the lowest or
execution level. This means that even the minutest details
are taken care of and reported. No flaw or loophole goes
unreported. Quality control is thus begins and is ensured at
the lowest level.
EE Reduced Costs: There is a lesser need of supervision
and more emphasis is laid on widening of skills, self-
management. This and quality control means that the costs
are controlled automatically.
1.3. PLANNING, ORGANIZING AND CONTROLLING IN
EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT
Classrooms are now considered to be the centres to facilitate
learning among children. The NCF-2005 considers teachers as
facilitators of learning. Students are treated as creative learners.
The teachers are supposed to create congenial environment for
facilitating learning. This demands creative thinking, planning,
organisation and management of classroom processes on the part
of the teacher. It is very essential that teachers need to be trained
in these areas so as to make them the facilitators of learning in
real and practical sense.
1.3.1. Objectives of Planning, Organisation & Management

in the planning process.
EE Become aware of different plans and organizing skills
required as an elementary school teacher and head of the
institution.

1.3.2. Planning
Planning is one of the important attributes of educational
management. To achieve the aims and objectives of education,
effective planning with organizing, staffing, directing and
controlling are required.
Plan is a commitment to a particular course of actions
believed necessary to achieve the desired results. According to
Terry “planning is the selection and relating of facts and making
and using of assumptions regarding the future in the visualization
and formalization of proposed activities believed necessary
to achieve desired results”. McFarland defines planning as “a
concept of executive action that embodies the skills of anticipating,
influencing and controlling the nature and direction of changes”.
Features of a plan:
1. Planning is a process rather than behavior at a given point
of time. The process determines the future course of action.
2. Planning is primarily concerned with looking into future,
which requires forecasting of the future situation.
3. Planning involves selection of suitable course of action.
4. Planning is undertaken at all levels of management and is
concerned with the future course of action.
10.  UNIT 2
5. Planning is flexible as commitment is based on future
conditions which are always dynamic.
6. Planning is a continuous managerial function involving
the process of perception, analysis, conceptual thought,
communication, decision and action.
7. A good plan should aim at the improvement of physical
facilities, teachers, library services, curricular, co-curricular
activities, participation in community programmes and the
like.
1.3.3. Organizing
Organization is a means to bring the plan into existence.
Organization is directly connected with planning and efforts of
the people. It is a medium, through which goals and the objectives
enlisted by the administration are achieved. According to J.B.
Sears an organization is “a machine for doing work. It may be
composed primarily of persons of materials of ideas, of concepts,
symbols, forms, rules, principles or more often of a combination
of these. The machine may work automatically or its operation
may be subject to human judgment and will”.
Organizing is the function of management that involves
developing an organizational structure and allocating human
resources to ensure the accomplishment of objectives. The
structure of the organization is the framework within which
effort is coordinated. The structure is usually represented by an
organization chart, which provides a graphic representation of
the chain of command within an organization. Decisions made
about the structure of an organization are generally referred to as
organizational design decisions.
The following principles are to be considered for a preparing
a good plan for organizing classroom processes.
i. The purpose of the plan must be determined. The
objectives to be achieved must be clearly identified.
School Management  .11

ii. Planning, organisation and management of classroom


activities must be formulated on clearly defined vision
and mission.
iii. Plans for catering to the varied needs and interests of
students must be organized.
iv. Standards to be achieved by the planning, organizing
and management must be set and performance
monitored.
v. Plans must be flexible to allow for modification/
innovation in light of experiences.
vi. Full communication of all concerned in operating the
plan.
vii. Plans must be achievable.

xi. Providing Instruction
xii. Providing Co-curricular Activities
xiii. Organizing
xiv. Directing
xv. Coordinating
xvi. Controlling or Supervising
12.  UNIT 2
xvii. Evaluating
xviii. Maintaining Records
1.3.4. Controlling
Controlling involves ensuring that performance does not
deviate from standards. Controlling consists of three steps, which
include
1. Establishing performance standards,
2. Comparing actual performance against standards, and
3. Taking corrective action when necessary.
Performance standards are often stated in monetary terms
such as revenue, costs, or profits but may also be stated in other
terms, such as units produced, number of defective products, or
levels of quality or customer service.
Effective controlling requires the existence of plans, since
planning provides the necessary performance standards or
objectives. Controlling also requires a clear understanding of
where responsibility for deviations from standards lies. Two
traditional control techniques are budget and performance audits.
An audit involves an examination and verification of records
and supporting documents. A budget audit provides information
about where the organization is with respect to what was planned
or budgeted for, whereas a performance audit might try to
determine whether the figures reported are a reflection of actual
performance. Although controlling is often thought of in terms of
financial criteria, administrators must also control production and
operations processes. Compliance with company policies, and
many other activities within the organization.
The management functions of planning, organizing, and
controlling are widely considered as the best way to classify
accumulated knowledge about the study of management.

1.3.5. Suggestions in effective Planning, Organisation and


Management of classroom process.
i. Emphasis on qualitative improvement.
ii. Emphasis on practical aspects of educational planning
and organisation with reference to curriculum planning,
planning co-curricular areas, personality development,
evaluation and the related aspects.
iii. Organizations of activities related to quality

There is a need for both the planners and the participants
at the cluster/block level to understand the components
of planning and organisation.
iv. Monitoring and supervision of the educational
activities.
v. Emphasis on programs which need talent and hard
work.
vi. Adequate evaluation and research.
vii. Prioritization of the activities for student development.
viii. Manpower needs at the primary education.
1.4. RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: HUMAN RESOURCE,
MATERIAL RESOURCE, FINANCIAL RESOURCE.
1.4.1. Human Resource
Marry Parker Follet defines management as the art of getting
work done through people. This definition means that a manager
is tasked with managing and directing others to achieve

the efforts of organizational members and the use of all
organizational resources to achieve the goals set effectively and
efficiently.

realizing the existence of the organization.
GG Human resource development is an effort to develop the
quality or ability of human resources through the process
of planning education, training and management of
personnel or employees to achieve an optimal result.
1.4.2. Material Resource
Most of the material resources in different schools workshop
are poorly managed for instructional activities in electrical/
electronic technology. The improper management of material
resources is manifested in the large number of obsolete and
unserviceable equipment prevalent in school shops. The upshot
of improper management of material resources is dearth of
functional tools and equipment and this cripples effective teaching
and students’ acquisition of skills
Material resources according to Odigbo (1999) refers to
either fixed or movable objects, equipment, supplies and facilities
which may be private, public or government property that may be
turned into educational use for attainment of set goals. Material
resources in technical education are the essential concrete
features that enable the instructor teach effectively in Industrial
Technical Education workshop and classroom (Okoro, 1999 and
Oranu, 1994). Wang (1993) stated that material resources which
he called physical faculties helped the teacher to convey intended
messages effectively so that learner receives, understands, retains,
and applies experiences gained to reach overall educational goals.
Material resources for teaching of electrical/electronic
technology among others include; workshop, laboratory,
workbenches, wiring boards, meters, Drilling machines (portable),
18.  UNIT 2
cold chisels, power hand drills, electric soldering iron, universal
pipe bending machines, Drill bit set, files (assorted), screw
drivers (assorted), Hydrometers, Batteries (assorted), Hammers,
(assorted), Steel rules (assorted), Magnets (assorted), Relays,
Switches (assorted), Tubes (assorted), Thermostats, Conduit
pipes, Joint junction boxes, Socket outlets, Plugs (assorted),
Digital meters, Analogue meters, Oscilloscopes, Function
generators, Television receivers, Radio receivers, Variable power
supply, Inductors (assorted), Lead sucker, Side cutters, etc.
These resources are of great importance to teaching of electrical/
electronic technology. Britton in Chukwuani (1989) stated that
material resources for technological education must be in perfect
condition for success to be achieved. He added that for teaching
to be a pleasure that the material resources needed in a laboratory
or workshop must be of appropriate number through proper
planning. Onyemaechi (2004) stated that the effectiveness of any
tool, equipment, and machine in performing specific function will
be the outcome of effective management by lecturers, instructors,
students and school administrators alike. This is why Uzoagulu
(1995) pointed out that for technological education to be effective,
a culture of prudent management of available local and imported
materials must be developed to avoid wastage of resources.
1.4.3. Financial resource
Finance is one type of resources, respectively, inputs into the
production process. Financial resources are from an economic
perspective part of the assets (property) of the organization.
Financial resources is a term covering all financial funds
of the organization. From an economic perspective financial
resources are the part of the organization’s assets (property).
Sometimes financial resources are reffered just as Finance, often
with some attributes (such as Business finance, Personal finance,
Public finance).
School Management  .19

In terms of finance control, financial resources are structured


as follows:
i. Business funds - cash, deposits with financial
institutions and cash equivalents (securities, checks,
etc.)
ii. Corporate capital - the sum of all money invested in
the organization’s total assets (equity capital + liability
(foreign capital)
iii. Other financial resources - resources of funds creation
and corporate capital (flow variable - the sum of
“inflow” of money into the company for a certain
period)
For a designation of financial resources is also used the
concept of financial assets

Potential challenges in implementing effective school management include ensuring quality improvement, managing social change, integrating community needs, and achieving modernization . Strategies to address these challenges could include continuous professional development for staff, community engagement programs, utilizing data-driven decision-making to inform policy, adopting innovative educational technologies, and fostering a culture of collaboration and accountability .

School management is described as an art because it involves the application of skills in decision-making, leadership, and inspiring people, and a science because it is a systematic body of knowledge developed through experimentation and observation . The implications for school administrators include the need to balance technical skills and scientific methods with creativity and interpersonal skills to effectively manage schools .

School management integrates resources by coordinating human, material, and financial resources through systematic planning, organizing, and controlling processes to achieve effective educational outcomes . This integration ensures that all aspects of the school, including policies, activities, and programs, work coherently towards the educational goals, maximizing efficiency and effectiveness in educational delivery .

School management can facilitate social change and modernization by managing social change processes, propagating science, adopting technology, and carrying out educational futures that are responsive to changing societal needs . Additionally, good management practices incorporate modernization strategies that integrate educational advancements with cultural and societal transformations, thus fostering a progressive and adaptable educational environment .

The distinct functions of management in educational settings include planning, organizing, staffing, directing, and controlling . These functions interact synergistically to achieve school objectives: planning sets the direction, organizing structures the resources, staffing ensures the right people are in place, directing provides leadership and motivation, and controlling ensures that goals are being met efficiently .

Classroom management is an integral part of the broader school management process, facilitated through planning, which involves setting objectives and choosing procedures, and control, which ensures performance aligns with those plans . Effective classroom management contributes to the achievement of the school's overall goals by ensuring that educational processes are efficiently conducted at the classroom level, thus reinforcing the broader management strategies .

Effective school management is characterized by being objective-based, ensuring quality education, having a democratic leadership (headmaster), making the best use of resources, involving joint enterprise, promoting professional growth, ensuring efficiency and continuous improvement, following an input-output model, and being community-oriented . These characteristics contribute to educational success by providing a structured approach that aligns resources and efforts towards achieving the school's educational objectives, fostering a conducive environment for learning and professional development, and promoting community integration .

Human resource management is significant within school management as it involves planning, organizing, mobilizing, controlling, procuring, developing, compensating, integrating, and maintaining personnel to efficiently achieve the school's educational goals . It ensures that the human resources are effectively utilized for optimal performance and aligning with the educational institution's objectives .

Planning plays a crucial role in school management by setting objectives and providing performance standards which guide the organizing and controlling processes . It impacts the effectiveness of educational institutions by ensuring that activities are systematically coordinated to meet educational goals, thus enhancing the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the school management system .

The concept of 'school as a community' influences management strategies by emphasizing the role of schools in serving societal needs, promoting social integration, and fostering a cooperative environment among teachers, students, and parents . Management strategies are thus implemented with a focus on community involvement, collaboration, and addressing the social and educational needs of the community as part of the school's mission .
