Produktbeschreibung

The aim of this study was to explore the partnerships between Government, Catholic Church, school administration and parents in the new school decentralized dispensation. This study used interviews and documents analysis to answer the following research questions: (1) how do school committees exercise their powers and responsibilities?; (2) how do they work with school administration?; (3) how do the Catholic Church contributes to solve the managerial and/or professional issues and school needs? and; (4) how do the government and the Catholic Church collaborate for school development?
