Management in education is a whim or an objective necessity?

Management today is a very popular scientific direction, because its application in various fields of activity should lead to the mobilization of financial, material and intellectual resources. And it's commercially profitable. But is management needed in education? Or in this area you can easily do without it?

Management in the education system is the norm in the countries of Western Europe. It is believed that without the correct organization of the team does not achieve high performance in the level of student learning achievements. Management in education is simply necessary, because only with its help can be made competent decisions. It is interesting that in the process of their adoption, according to Western experts, every single teacher is obliged to participate. The administration is needed rather to select the most rational proposals and implement them within a single school, university or other educational institution.

Development of scientific approaches to school management began in the 1920s. With the development of sociology, psychology, philosophy and various scientific methods of cognition, in particular the systems approach, interest in school management has also increased. In the early 90's, large theoretical works of Western scholars were published. They believed that the final analysis of the activities of any educational institution for the year must necessarily include:

1. The school implements various directive normative documents of the Ministry of Education.
2. Efficiency of the annual management cycle.
3. Analysis of the effectiveness of the methodological work.
4. Assessment of the overall quality of education and teaching of key subjects.
5. Analysis of the interaction of the school with parents of students;
6. Effectiveness of the work of the educational institution with various public organizations.
7. Evaluation of the level of pupilty of pupils.
8. Analysis of compliance with sanitary and hygienic standards.
9. Results of the implementation of the educational program.

Management in the field of education is a complex of technological methods, organizational forms, principles and methods that are aimed at improving the effectiveness of the training system. Its main functions are organization, planning, motivation and control. Management in education is reduced primarily to providing all subjects with information about the activities of the system. Based on this information, decisions are made, as well as planning for further activities. Management in education has as its goal the selection of optimal solutions, as well as the development of a program for the development of various educational institutions.

Management of the school or university should be carried out in three stages. At the first stage, a diagnosis is made and a presumptive estimate is given, at the second, data is collected using various sociological methods, and at the third stage, final conclusions are made about the state of affairs, as well as ways to improve the situation. Without management, one can hardly achieve good results in anything. And learning is not an exception.
