Recent reforms in the governance of schooling have affected roles,
relationships and decision-making within schools and between them
and the wider community. Using empirical and theoretical approaches
this book describes, analyses and compares the effects of devolved
management on secondary schools in a number of countries. It casts
a critical light upon policy assumptions and aims, challenging
assumptions about the way policy works in practice. Through a
comparative international perspective, which looks at countries
including the UK and the US, the conflicting options for school
governance are addressed. These include: *parental participation
and school management policy *professional, managerial and market
principles in education *school-based decision-making and the
implications of overarching government policies *devolution and
centralisation. This is a timely study for practitioners in
education, policy-makers in local and central government, academics
and students of education policy and management.
