School-Based Management (SBM)

School-Based Management (SBM) is an approach to education that gives individual schools more decision-making power and autonomy over their operations. This allows local educators, including teachers and administrators, to make choices related to budgeting, curriculum, and school policies, tailored to the specific needs of their students and community. The idea is that those closest to the students understand best how to improve education. By empowering schools, SBM aims to enhance accountability, foster innovation, and ultimately improve student outcomes.
