Management of Education at this level is not an easy task. There are different categories in
which management is necessary. Without proper management, it is very difficult to implement
all the educational plans. Here we will discuss all the things in which we need management at
this level of Education.

management. There are various things which we will discuss in the following heads.
• A school building must be excellent, spacious functional and with pleasing architectural
features. “Buildings are to education as body is to the mind.” “A sound mind can only be
there in a sound body.”

(i) Curriculum adequacy : The institution must be planned to provide the facilities necessary
for the efficient and effective accommodation of all the phases of the curricular, co-curricular
and community activities for which the plant is intended.

(ii) Safety and well-being : The school should be so planned as to protect the comfort health and
safety of pupils, teachers, and all who will use its facilities. Lighting, heating and ventilating
should be in accordance with the best practices.
(iii) Interfunctional co-ordination : Each unit or portion of a plant may be well-planned for its
specific purpose, yet if the units are not put together with respect to their mutual relationships,
the plant, as a whole, will be unsatisfactory.
(iv) Efficiency and Unity : The school plant should be planned and assembled in a manner that
will promote efficient school management and convenience of pupils and the public in its
use.
