Schools as organisations Edition: 5

The main aim of any education system is to provide effective teaching and learning for its community through specific aims/objectives, an education policy, and various processes and programmes, all of which are in constant interaction with the environment and its contextual coordinates. The school, as one of the structures within this system, is responsible for bringing all of these things to the area it serves. It consists of a unique grouping of people, and any educational manager and leader needs to have a basic knowledge of the school as an organisation in order to manage and lead it effectively, particularly in the arena of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Schools as organisations focuses on different perspectives of organisational theory in education.
