The acronym POSDCORB (E) has been used in all schools and other organizations all over the world. It is a management technique that has been accepted by all managers and administrators in both the public and private secondary schools in Mauritius. However, some administrators are not making effective use of the management principles and this has a negative effect on the performance of students. In order, to achieve better results in the 21st century which is characterized as a technological world, administrative quality in terms of competent leaders are required. I work for a fee-paying school which is the Institue. The Institute has opened its doors 10 years back with less than 50 students, but the rector was not discouraged and today the school population is over 300. The Institute is known for its discipline as this is not the case in other state secondary schools. Moreover, teachers are asked to give special attention to weak students in order to make them pass the exams. The Rector does apply the acronym POSDCORB (E), but does not make the maximum use of it, and this affects the results at the end of the year. The acronym POSDCORB (E) can be stated below where: P= PLANNING O=ORGANISING S=STAFFING D=DIRECTING C=COORDINATION R= REPORTING B= BUDGETING E=EVALUATION PLANNING “Planning bridges the gap from where...

Keywords: risk response planning, contingency plan, risk trigger, risk response decision Risk Response Planning To begin with, I want to use the content of PMBOK to define the risk response planning.

...Institution Affiliation Introduction Education policy refers to the guidelines and principles that the government put in place as laws in order to govern the activities around education systems in their country (Dewey, 2012). These policies are meant to be implemented in all the stages of education that is from early childhood education, kindergarten through to 12th grade, university and college education, graduate, adult education and job training. The areas that the government focuses on while formulating and implementing education policy include school choice, class size, school size, teacher education, school privatization, teacher pay and certification, curricular content, teaching methods, school infrastructure and education requirements (Dewey, 2012). It also encompasses the values and missions that schools aim to uphold and achieve respectively. A country’s academic success is greatly determined by the kind of education policies that have been formulated and implemented by its government (Ravitch, 2012). Hence this is a very vital factor for citizens to consider when they are obligated to vote in a new government. They tend to look at the most beneficial and favorable education policies that are going to be for the good of the country. Politicians also prioritize this factor when they are campaigning for office. This essay aims at comparing two countries’ education policies that is the United States of America and the United Kingdom....

...MANAGEMENT REVIEW Quality of Professional Management Education in Bhubaneswar: An Assessment from Student Point of View Abstract Rakhi Dutta Asst Prof. Srusti Academy of Management, Bhubaneswar The twin cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack together have around forty-five colleges and institutions offering postgraduate programs in management. Some of them run as autonomous bodies or universities, some are affiliated to Universities, some have got approval from AICTE and some have tie-ups with other national and international bodies. The paper is based on an exploratory qualitative research undertaken in the cities of Bhubaneswar and Cuttack among postgraduate students of management from around 15 colleges and is an attempt to enumerate the deficiencies they perceive in their education. The research has primarily focused on education delivery and covers the curricular and teaching-learning aspects along with certain other areas which affect students. The paper also gives some suggestive measures to take care of these deficiencies. “Assessment in this spirit does not concern assignment of grades or evaluation of whether instruction was effective. It’s assessment designed squarely to feed into the learning process and make the learning stronger. David N.

...BACKGROUND INFORMATION This case study is based on a former student of Nadi Muslim College.Due to confidentiality his real name will not be used in this project.Zoheb Ali, 16, has ditched school to work full time to assist his financially struggling family. He sells pineapples, watermelons and other local seasonal fruits by the roadside six days a week. Chatting away while expertly skinning and slicing succulent pineapples with a dangerously sharp-looking knife, Ali said he has been doing this work since he was 14. Before he quit school, he was working only on weekends. Last year his parents gave him permission to start working full-time. “I did not like school and I wanted to make money to help my family,” he said, smiling. Ali’s father, who is a taxi driver, and his mother, a tailor at agarment factory, did not protest too hard when their son said he wanted to leave school and work. The family was struggling to make ends meet, and the extra income was much needed. Observers believe that the situation of tens of thousands of poor families like Ali’s has become even more desperate since the global economic crisis struck in 2007. Such families are now forced to prematurely pull their children out of school and send them to work. Several other boys with similar stories to Ali are employed by the latter’s boss. Some, like 16-year-old Anzar Khan, along with his younger brother and sister, are still in school. But further hardships could force him and his siblings to follow...
