Primary And Secondary School-based Management Mode

School-Based Management (SBM) is a new educational administration thought and model in the western school reforming movement of basic education in the 1980s.It is advanced in the light of traditional External Control Management .Its basic ideal is that, in order to improve the quality and effectiveness of the schools , the educational administrative department must empower the schools to make decision on the budgeting, curriculums, textbooks and personnel according to the characteristics and conditions of the schools themselves. On the contrary, External Control Management indicates that the schools have little self-decision power and have to work on the basis of the outside authority and the central order. The rise of SBM is in line with the tendency of quality-oriented education in the present world and meets the needs in furthering reforms in modern school management . SBM is similar to Principle Responsibility System which is carrying out in the primary and middle schools in our country. We can draw lesson form SBM to improve Principle Responsibility System and build the effective model of SBM of our country. All of which will be great importance not only to deepen our reform of education administration system ,but also to meet the challenge facing the education and its administration after our country joined the WTO.There are four major models of SBM in the western country : the administrative control, the professional control, the community control and the balanced control . Each of them has advantage and disadvantage. The effectiveness of the administrative control SBM is far higher, but the teacher and the community have little change to take part in school management; The professional control SBM brings the initiative and creativeness of the teacher into full play, but the work of the school will be in utter disorder without the administration . The community control SBM only takes the needs of the community into account . The balanced control SBM is a reasonable model, but it ignores the action of the principle. In order to overcome these disadvantages, we must carry out the multiple control SBM. Its basic supposition is the things as follows. First, the transformation of the managerial functions of the government is the fundamental premise of SBM. Secondly, the reform of school leadership system is the systematic assurance of SBM. Thirdly, the building of school quality management system is the key goals of SBM. Fourthly, the reform of school self-management system is the internal motive mechanism of SBM. Finally, the improvement of educational intermediary organization is the external condition of SBM.
