Governance Models in Education

Governance models in education refer to how schools and education systems are organized and managed. They outline who makes decisions, how those decisions are made, and the distribution of authority among stakeholders like government bodies, school leaders, teachers, parents, and communities. Different models may centralize power in government agencies, distribute authority to school boards, or involve community participation. The goal is to create effective, accountable, and flexible systems that improve student outcomes while balancing oversight and autonomy. These models influence funding, policies, curriculum choices, and overall school operation.
