Objective

To continue the process of restructuring and improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the management and administration of the educational systems within the sub-region at both the national and institutional levels.

General Philosophy

The management and administration of education within free open and democratic societies both reflect and advance the precepts and ideals of freedom and democracy. Accordingly, the management and administration of education should be characterized by:

• Broadrepresentation and participation in the decision making bodies and processes.
• Constant dialogue, communication and consultation between all the stakeholders.
• Periodic negotiation and renegotiation of goals, missions and methodologies.
• Access to public information and the right to know.
• Provision for the nurturing of leadership potential and a climate for the personal growth of individuals.
• Public accountability through reports and audits at regular intervals.
