Frame Work for Implementation of Education Reforms in Punjab Section III Organization and Management of Education Supporting Sub Systems and Financial Implications

Abstract

A brief historical perspective understanding the present educational system and its management in the Punjab. What fell to the lot of this State after independence or, for that matter, to any other state, was a highly centralised and Bureaucratic system of Educational Administration as a legacy of the colonial past. This was characterised by excessive concentration of authority at the Directorate and the Divisional levels. The District level and below, where education was actually imparted, were ignored and formed the weakest link of the system.
