The aim of this study is to examine the role played by the state in developing
partnerships in school governance, to establish how school governance reform and
restructuring can enhance powers and functions of school governing bodies and to
identify the needs and problems of partners in school governance.
A literature study was conducted to investigate the role of the state in partnerships in
school governance and its implications for school governing bodies. Reference was
made to studies conducted in countries experiencing educational reform.
An empirical survey was conducted to establish the views of the state and school
governors. For this purpose, a questionnaire was sent to members of governing bodies,
while an interview was held with an official in the Department of Education.
It was found that the implementation of reform influences relationships and functions of
governing bodies and causes problems which the state should address. / Educational Leadership and Management / M.Ed. (Educational Management)
