A Conceptual Framework for Preservice Programme Development in Educational Administration: A Case Application for the Republic of Rwanda′s Education System

Abstract

The pertinent literature is reviewed and a paradigm or a framework is presented to guide conceptualisation and implementation for the programme development process in educational administration in an African country, Rwanda. The framework components include four dimensions and related systematic conceptual levels and procedural stages. It is argued that improvement of education requires the definition of the goals of educational administration, the upgrading of the instruction for on‐the‐job practitioners, and the development of a pre‐service programme for prospective school administrators responsible for efficient and effective management of the centralised educational system. The framework claims to be a disciplinary matrix for developing a pre‐service programme in the field of educational administration.
