PEREZ-RUIZ, Abel. Approaches to School ManagementAn Approximation from the Latin American Perspective. educ.educ. [online]. 2014, vol.17, n.2, pp.357-369. ISSN 0123-1294.  https://doi.org/10.5294/edu.2014.17.2.9.

The article takes stock of the various tactics and approaches to school management developed in recent years. The objective is to identify the different approaches to analyzing the new form of public administration being applied to education, as part of the educational reform processes implemented recently in several Latin American countries. On that basis, the idea of reorganizing schools is embedded in a context of change that promotes decentralization, along with more flexible mechanisms for the way education operates. The existence of these principles has led to diverse and contrasting results that account for heterogeneous school realities, despite the existence of public policies that seek to align them according to certain regulatory standards or requirements. This means school management is still an unfinished topic and one requiring more in-depth consideration to enrich its study.
