| dc.description | Special Issue: The Professional Preparation and Development of Educational Administrators in Developing Areas with Emphasis on the Commonwealth Caribbean, edited by Earle H. Newton & David G. Marshall | |
| dc.description.abstract | This paper examines two fundamental and related issues in the preparation of educational administrators in the developing countries of the Commonwealth, especially the countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean: Educational administration and regional development, and Educational administration and the unequal distribution of power. The first section of the paper covers conventional definitions of development, including the widely held notion that only the non-industrialized countries should be classified as "developing." The second section describes regional training programmes for educational administrators, which have been carried out in the Commonwealth Caribbean by international organizations, with the backing of the regional governments. The third section provides an insight into the socio-political environment in which educational administrators in the countries under study have had to operate. It is concluded that educational administrators in these countries need to come to an explicit recognition of the fact that education and politics do mix, and must strive to build up their political skills if they are serious about increasing the contribution of education to development | |
