EDUCATIONAL LEADERSHIP, MANAGEMENT AND THE PHENOMENON OF MANAGERIALISM

Summary/Abstract: Singapore is amongst the best ranking countries in PISA evaluation. In this article the downfalls of reaching to this result is explored from different perspectives. The article also depicts the alarming global shift in education, which concentrates on standardizing learning and teaching through testing and measuring the effectiveness of schools and even the entire education systems of nations. Applying business models and practices into education has alarming negative consequences in school development and teachers’ motivation to concentrate on their core task, which is teaching and educating students. Practical examples of this very process are described by examining how teachers in Singapore are evaluated according to ‘performance indicators’ and by presenting some aspects of Singaporean School Excellence Model (SEM).
