Educational Management
Notes • Co-ordination of Co-curricular Activities
• Before an activity is lunched it should be approved democratically by the staff. Before approving
a new activity the following things should be kept in mind :
• All the members should be democratically taken into confidence before introducing any activity
in the school. Coaches or sponsors of school activities should be the members of the staff and
not outsiders.
• The number of activities which as students should be allowed to take part in during an academic
year should be according to his needs. A limitation on participation is required because it will
check the over ambitious form overloading himself with activities to the possible detriment to
his health and regular studies and because a larger number of students will be able to participate
in the activities organised in the school.
• Control of Co-ordination
• All co-curricular activities should be supervised by the school. They should be amenable to
school control and discipline. Too much supervision is of course not required, nor is it desirable,
because it stifles spontaneity and makes it difficult for students to develop initiative, leadership
and fellowship.
• Factors of Co-ordination
• Coordination has the following three factors :
(i) There are the parts and the aspect of the programme, such as the staff, students, parents,
curriculum, etc.
(ii) There are the means of coordination, such as the rules, regulations, customs, etc.
(iii) There are the climate, the environment and the powers of coordination. The administrator,
for each particular situation, has to decide which parts, which methods and what powers he
is going to use.
• Education is process of development. Educational institutions are established for human
development education creature and creator of the society.
• The term ‘growth and development’ is psychological in nature, but the process of growth and
development is implemented by school management. It is also the responsibility of a principal
which are oriented towards the growth of development of students, teachers and the institution.
It is essential to understand the concept of growth and development.
