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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863465787680,"sku":"NEW0415195381","price":92.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/51eGaudq29L.jpg?v=1781639508","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-governance-of-schooling-comparative-studies-of-devolved-management-0415195381","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
