The headmaster and the school education system.
Learning Curve (16).
pp. 27-29.
Abstract
The headmaster is the leader of his or her school,
but also part of a larger ‘system’, which comprises
an institutional structure, a set of management
practices, theories and practices about the nature of
learning, approaches and specific strategies for equity.
The overall goals of the system, and consequently of a
government school headmaster, are embedded in the
Constitution, the legal framework and government policies.
These, however, have to be interpreted against the social
context in which the school is situated. The extent to which
these goals can be fulfilled depend on the characteristics of 'the system’ i.e., institutional structure and capacity, political and administrative ethos, assumptions about the child and learning, management and pedagogic practices.
