The Resource Book for Educational Management

About this book

The National Education Policy 2009 describes the vision of education as:

“Our education system must provide quality education to our children and youth to enable them to realize their individual potential and contribute to development of society and nation, creating a sense of Pakistani nationhood, the concepts of tolerance, social justice, democracy, their regional and local culture and history based on the basic ideology enunciated in the Constitution of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan.”

Educational management is the most important factor and without effective educational management the quality of education cannot be raised. Modern day educational management demands profeSsional standards and expertise for education managers which are mostly from amongst the teacher cadre, without much management experience. Knowing the financial and service rules is essential for education managers to utilize the financial and human resources in a better way and to make public service delivery more acceptable for the community.

This resource book is intended to provide the educators and education managers accessibility to important documents related to administrative, financial and academic matters. Despite the knowledge about administrative and financial matters, success will depend on our commitment to the cause of education in Pakistan.
