`The strategies presented here are quite useful to provide future directions not only to the managers but also to the planners and trainers′ - Journal of Education Planning and Administration
This book examines the issue of strategic management in schools and colleges. The contributors present an overview of theory in order to enhance management practice in education, and articulate good practice on the basis of evidence in education settings. The ideas presented here are derived from international research and practice, and apply to all phases of education, with the emphasis on using the findings to improve practice in schools and colleges.
