M.Ed. / In this research project, attempts have been made to find ways and means to address the financial needs of Kathorus schools. The concept of financing schools through establishment of sound external relations has been discussed as one possible mechanism to give broad access to education opportunities. Such mechanisms will enable students to participate actively in their educational careers. Funding of schools through establishing of a sound external relation will not be successful if developed in a vacuum. Therefore, the process will require a new and intelligent approach to private sector with the development of new kinds of skills and knowledge. Reorientation courses for school principals should be pursued so that a paradigm shift can be achieyed in relation to a sound external relation aimed at financing of education. In conclusion, the following statements describe some of the principles discussed in this project document: • • Private sector should form an integral part of educational funding system . School governance should be 'in conjunction with the community (partnership) structures and stakeholders in the institutions, while conforming to the national policy framework.

The purpose of this study is to determine sound procedures for organizing and conducting a Community Council.

"Principals and teachers are being challenged as never before to provide more abundant living and learning in the schools of America. More and more we hear such typical expressions as; 'the schools should provide the children of our country with real experience in living and learning rather than artificial experiences.' These real experiences are seldom found in the routine presentation of subject matter. Furthermore, teachers cannot hold exclusively to traditional subject matter and make use of the newer concept of education to which they subscribe. Many of the problems of the school have their origin in the community which the school serves. The school cannot solve these problems in isolation or without assistance from the community. One of the primary purposes of education is to improve the quality of community living through more active individual participation in community experiences. To accomplish this we must mobilize the educational forces to use the community as a laboratory of learning"--Introduction. / "August, 1950." / Typescript. / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Mildred Swearingen, Professor directing paper. / Includes bibliographical references.
