TRENDS AND ISSUES IN EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT IN ENGLAND AND WALES
Abstract
An indication is given of recent developments of management training provision in relation to schools and further and higher education in England and Wales. As Local Education Authorities and providing institutions seek to grasp the new opportunities implicit in changed financial arrangements for in‐service training, four issues are identified as being in contention: 1. the relative merits of long award‐bearing courses and more flexible, but less expensive, short courses; 2. the most appropriate target group; 3. the relevance or otherwise of industrial management models; and 4. the evergreen issue of orientation to practice. The discussion is focussed on the situation in England and Wales; the issues may be perceived to be of wider significance.
