Resource Materials for School Heads

An eight module set in the Better Schools series, these modules are intended to help school heads in Africa improve their performance. They can be used in any English-speaking education system in Africa. They are suitable for self-study, distance learning, by peer groups and in workshops, and as a basis for coursework in institutions and faculties of education. They introduce school heads to important aspects of managing a school, from the most basic to the most complex tasks, in a very practical way.The modules were produced by seven Ministries of Education (in Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Namibia, Nigeria, Uganda and Zimbabwe). Four others (Ethiopia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania and Zambia) participated in the review of the modules. They have been tried among school heads and inspectors, teacher trainers and district officials in several countries.
