Summary/Abstract: School management analysis has emphasized a series of characteristics both similar to and different from other organizations. It has been proved that the specific of school management comes from the particularities of the school activity especially from the existence of two main activity fields – educational and administrative – which have led to other school particularities such as the unique relationship between certain personnel members (teacher and pupils), the variety of school cultures and subcultures, the school climate based on an environment totally dedicated to education etc. Starting from the analysis of some management models, we emphasize the acute need of implementing several changes in school management. They are required both by the latest advances in theoretical analysis of the school organization and everyday management practice which has highlighted a number of specific solutions to real problems identified in education.
