AB  - The current thrust towards devolution of power to schools has altered
and expanded the principal′s role. Principals are being made responsible
for school review and planning, local selection of staff, school‐based
staff development, performance appraisal, financial management, and the
establishment of school councils. Principals need professional
development to cope successfully with these new requirements. Reviews
the immediate administrative training needs of school leaders, and then
examines the dilemma universities face in providing appropriate
administrative development. A new fee‐paying programme is proposed as a
way for universities to fulfil academic responsibilities while providing
school leaders with knowledge, skills and confidence for their emerging
school self‐management responsibilities.
