This course covers all aspects needed for managing a class or a school. It also includes historical background of educational administration and supervision. Administration plays a pivotal role in any organization. Administrators are the single most important ingredient in determining an organization’s success or failure. The following famous proverb which states that “like the headmaster, like the school” is an indicative proof of it . Whether in business, government, education, medicine, or religion, the quality of an organization’s administration determines the quality of the organization itself. A successful administrator anticipates change, vigorously exploits opportunities, rectifies poor performance, and leads the organization towards its objectives.  Administrators can turn straw to gold or the reverse. This course also encompasses all aspects needed for managing and supervising a school.
