Management – Process to quality education
In time of drastic change, the future is inherited by those who learn. Those who think they learnt
it all, are the ones trained to live in the world that no longer exists.

INTRODUCTION
Crossing the path with the management challenge of the 21st century, managers must be more
innovative, more flexible and above all focused towards the success. Quality becomes more
critical, the market factor, which distinguishes the school or a company from all others. Main
characteristic of all modern societies is the management of schools/ company. In doing so, the
best will be those who will manage to develop an innovative culture, in which the employees
will enjoy the changes, but also to be the ones that will manage to develop those very changes.
James Houghton from Corning Inc., advocates for the continuous repetition of the following
factors: “Quality, quality, quality……………………………………participation of employees”.
Management should take into account that all its activities are directed towards the work, to
motivate, to synchronize all the factors working in the school, teachers, students, parents,
administrative and technical personnel, and for all their activities should be controlled in this
direction, to see the effects of that work.
With the work plan, in all schools, firstly performance targets are defined, which lead to
development of all shareholders in given activities, project tasks, which is the starting point for
changes at all levels of education.
Development plan for education can be a good basis on working with external partners and local
municipality. Every member in any organization/ school is working more efficiently if certain
conditions are met. It requires everyone to be more flexible in certain alterations, the formation
of work teams, and this partnership brings to the ease of overcoming all the problems and their
solutions, and changes are accepted better.

Management should be EFFECTIVE (right things to be done), and EFFICIENT (working
in the right way).

1. DEVELOPMENT PLANNING (MANAGEMENT) AT SCHOOL
Development planning in schools represents an organized, institutional process that is continuous
and always in progress. It is based on research, analysis, and detection of all needs and devising
ways to comply. The schools create and implement their own changes. It enters the plan of
schools manager/director that can be grouped into two groups:
 Managers physical activity or communication activity
 Mental functions of managers or making various decisions
The ultimate goal of all management activities is to create a positive environment that will
positively affect teachers, students and parents in order to achieve all the set goals. Managers /
principals create a good atmosphere to work to encourage employees to be more involved for the
good of all. In this way, greater degree of autonomy is provided, but at the same time means a
higher degree of responsibility for the overall operation. It is essentially a process of
decentralization of the educational process.
Managers are the most expensive resource in the most of the businesses, and if someone is
aiming to lower their value, then there is need to constantly and continuously adding its
complements. Many years are needed for a manager team to be built, but the timeline can be
shortened if a government requires to.

Implementation of the development plan needs time, summoning all the parts in the process, and

3. DEVELOPMENT PLAN OF SCHOOL AND MANAGERS
Development plan in schools should be specific, clear and realistic to achieve. It means to be
relevant for a given school, and this is the most important part of the implementation of the
development plan. It should also encourages, offer a challenge for something new. In that case
the plan should be in line with the needs of all groups, to be based on the instantaneous state of a
given school, to be based on existing resources, not only in a given school, but also the local
environment and be supported by all stakeholders involved in the work plan.
Everything mentioned above can be realized if the development plan is transparent and if it is
adopted in a democratic procedure.
Of all the factors, the most important is the managerial work and management of the school,
which starts at school and work towards achieving the stated goals. There come to the fore all the
functions of managers:
Planning
Organization
Control
