'All South Africans must now unite and join hands and say we are one country, one nation, one people, marching together into the future.' - Nelson Mandela The difficulties of translating Nelson Mandela's vision into practice should not be underestimated - the historic inequalities and deficiencies of educational provision need to be rectified. The central purpose of this volume is to provide insights into effective strategic management as a major contribution towards educational transformation in the new South Africa and to further the development of leadership and strategic management in schools. Through a mix of theory and school-based practice, and drawing on wide research, this volume provides both syntheses of educational management theory and examples of practice taken from South Africa's schools. It is aimed particularly, but not exclusively, at managers wishing to further their professional development in the field of educational management. The authors are experts in the field of educational management.
