Structure and Function of Education Management Set-Up in Karnataka State

Abstract

From Context: Structural changes and adjustments are being witnessed in the management of education across the world in the last two decades. Professionalism, accountability, transparency, decentralisation/democratisation, responsiveness, are the watchwords of the proposed structural adjustment policy. Simplification of procedures, quick yet information-based decisions, competence and efficiency in delivery of services, modernisation of office work including record-building, keeping and maintenance, lateral and vertical communication, networking and convergence of services so as to avoid laxity and duplicity, information sharing and management are the strategies for this policy. In essence, a new culture of public administration is emerging which facilitates fast, efficient, effective and quality delivery of services.
