Romanian pre-university education from the perspective of school management

This paper presents an image of the pre-university education seen through the eyes of the school manager. Management is a conscious process of managing and coordinating individual and group actions and activities, as well as mobilizing and allocating the organization's resources to meet its objectives in accordance with its mission, goals and economic and social responsibilities. Educational management is a methodology of a global - optimal - strategic approach to education, but not a model for the management of the basic unit of the education system applicable to the complex school organization.
