To what extent are the
characteristics of bureaucracy identified above present in the school?
This question can be answered in
the following way:-
i. Schools and
colleges employ specialized personnel or staff who are recruited on the basis
of expertise and qualifications.
ii. Schools have a
hierarchy of positions and a formal structure of authority involving specific
lines of command from the head of the school (e.g. Headmaster, Principal, Provost,
Rector, Vice-Chancellor, etc.) downward (e.g. Labourers, Cleaners, Messengers,
Cooks etc.).
iii. All schools and
colleges have rules and regulations governing the conduct of behaviour. There are rules and
regulations governing the conduct of students on one hand, and another set of
rules governing the conduct of teachers on the other hand. Both teachers and
students are expected to respect and follow these rules and regulations of the schools with
strict adherence.
iv. Schools and
colleges have teachers who are provided with specialist courses for the age
range that they teach. For example, in the teacher education programme,
preservice teachers are taught courses that are geared towards the production
of competent teachers full of
technical qualifications such as sociology of education, educational psychology, philosophy of
education, curriculum studies etc.
