Download or read book Local Management of Schools written by Rosalind Levačić and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1990, headteachers and school governors in England and Wales have had extensive powers to manage school budgets and are responsible for all of a school's resource needs including staff. As the school budget is dependent on pupil numbers and parents now have more choice over which school their children will attend, local management has had profound effects on how schools are managed and resourced. The book presents original empirical research on local management and concludes that while schools are now able to use resources more efficiently there is little evidence to support the government's claim that local management plays a key role in raising standards of teaching and learning.

Download or read book Enabling Or Disabling Local Government written by Steve Leach and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past ten years or so there has been an unprecedented amount of change in the world of British local government: for instance the growth of Compulsory Competitive Tendering; the opportunity for schools to opt out of local authority control; the new responsibilities for community care; the introduction of the community charge (or poll tax) and its subsequent replacement with council tax. And now local government is in the throes of a major and controversial reorganization. There have been several books which have described such changes but this one represents the first systematic attempt to draw out the overall implications of these changes for the future role of local government as an institution. It argues that there are major strategic choices of direction facing local authorities, and that these choices will shape management structures and many other aspects of local choice. The book provides a clear framework of analysis to enable readers to understand the forces at work in this particularly turbulent and unstable period of local government's history, and to see where they are leading.
