Projected Issues in the Practice of Educational Administration: The English Context.
Browning, Peter
Current and incipient problems in educational administration in England can be grouped into two areas: those resulting from reorganization and those arising from social and political factors. Many problems faced by educational administrators result from school reorganization that is a result of an increase in the number of comprehensive schools. In higher education, problems will result from the reorganization precipitated by declining enrollment. Other problems are caused by the reorganization of the local education authorities. There are six features of the current political scene to which the educational administrator is going to have to pay increasing attention: the pervasive intrusion of political parties into the education authorities; the rise of an air of consumerism in education, with pressure groups exerting more and more influence; an increase in two important causes of social stress--divorce, and the multiracial and multicultural character of the country; the growth of unemployment; a movement toward centralization; and pressures for unionism.
