Unit 15: Participation of Stakholders in Educational Management

Notes

Unesco co-operates with the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development
(IBRD) and its affiliate, the International Development Association (IDA), in a
programme designed to assist governments in making their national systems of
education more productive and efficient.

Most of the activities are discharged through National Commissions for co-operation with
Unesco. Among the important activities in the field of education undertaken by UNESCO are:

1. Establishment of institutes like the present National Institute of Educational Planning and
Administration, New Delhi.
2. Secondary School Teaching Licence Project.
3. Farmer’s Training and Functional Literacy Programmes.
4. Centre for Educational Technology.

In fact every educational activity is closely related to educational finance and support.
Educational finance determines the whole national fabric.

15.4 Role of Teachers in Educational Management

No better tributes have been paid to any man on earth than to the teacher. East or west, everywhere
he has been respected and worshipped. If in ancient India he was ranked next to God, in the West
he has been called the ‘architect of nation,’ the harbinger of the progress of culture’, ‘the maker of
man’ and the ‘maker of history’. Like a gardener, caressing the plants, he caresses young human
beings and looks after their physical, mental and social growth and development. God created man
in the shape of his own image, the teacher fashions the child in the shape of his own image. Hence
it is said, as the teacher, so is the child.
