School Management - New Concept and Practice in Albanian Education

Abstract

Education systems in democratic countries are characterized by the application of democratic principles in the organization, administration, and realization of education; from the intentions to be as open and flexible as possible. School management leads to increased internal and external effectiveness, improved provision, and combination of resources in dynamic structures to meet the basic goals of the system or institution. The aim of this study is devoted to the method of staff selection based on criteria and testing, material needs, field and facility services, health and safety, purchases and finances, information systems and transport, social security, liaison and communication with the public, legal services, etc., which have taken on the values of professionalism. The management of the school is seen not only in the vertical aspect, but also in the horizontal one that has to do with the creation of suitable conditions in everyday life and management of the school, at every level, including the following social actors: teachers, parents, students, leaders, professional or non-governmental associations, personalities of culture, economy, business, etc. Identifying the needs of effective school management makes us sensitive in processing work mentalities and professional relationships to simultaneously identify possible changes. Education employees, scholars and other activists of Albanian life considering new ideas and experiences in school reform from developed countries will present them with efficient choices that will produce inherent values.
