Meaning and Definition of School

JOHN DEWEY

“The school is a special

environment where a
certain quality of life and
certain types of activities
are provided with the
object of securing child’s
development along
desirable lines”.
W.H. RYBURN

“The school is a co-

operative society, a
place where giving or
taking of co-operation
is experienced by all”.
 T. PERCY NUNN
“The school must be thought
of primarily not as a place of
learning where certain
knowledge is learned but as a
place where young are
disciplined in certain forms of
activity, namely those that are
of the greatest and most
permanent significance in the
wider world.”
 K. G. Saiyidian
“The school is a center
of rigorous life. It is an
indirect intimate contact
with the realities of life
around, reflecting the
best and worthiest of its
features which are
simple enough to appeal
to the child”.
Meaning and Definition of
Organization
A formal organization is one
established by an external
authority. The positions held by the
people in such an organization are
determined by some external
authorities.

10
An informal organization grows out of a formal
organization or otherwise due to the group’s
interpersonal relationships. There is a common
affinity among the members of the formal
organization. The group develops its own
structure or technique of working. There is no
hierarchical order in the group.

 J. B. Sears
“It is a machine for
doing work. It may be
composed primarily of
persons of materials of
ideas, of concepts,
symbols, forms, rules,
principles or more often
of a combination of
these. The machine may
work automatically or its
operation may be
 W. H. Ryburn
“Organization simply
means the practical
measure which we take
to ensure that the
system of work we use
will be of the greatest
possible assistance in
carrying out our aims
and of the greatest
benefit to our children.”
 Elsbrel
“Organization of the
school is the
administrative
expression of
educational theory”
 School organization is a part of the educational process in the country. A
well-organized school is the backbone of education.
 Refers to the structure and functioning of educational institutions.

equipment brought together in a systematic and effective correlation to

PRINCIPLES OF SCHOOL
ORGANIZATION

16
 Clear and defined goals

• The school must have clear and defined goals that are communicated to all
stakeholders.
• SMART
• It provides a roadmap for success, offering clarity, direction, and
motivation to achieve desired outcomes.

17
 Child-centered principle

 Education aims at the all-round development of the child

 Help develop students’ abilities, innate qualities, emotions, attitudes,
and natural traits
 Generate an atmosphere that may help the child develop his social,
moral, physical, and mental capabilities
 School activities should be properly organized to provide every child
with optimum development
18
 Community Centered Principle

 Make the child an active, useful, and worthy member of society.

 We should also make arrangements for the progress of the community.
 School organizations should keep in view the developmental needs of the
children as well as the community’s ideals, aspirations, needs, values, and
culture.

19
 Democratic principles

 The democratic ideals are inculcated in the minds of the children

through the school activities.
 The principles of cooperation and coordination in the entire school
system can help the students develop knowledge about democratic
living.
 School organization should be planned so that the headmaster, the
teachers, the students, and other staff members work with team spirit.
 They should feel that school organization is their own activity.
20
 Optimum use of available
resources
• The community's physical and human resources should be used so
that the items, money, and energy are utilized effectively to
organize the schools properly.
• Recruitment of teachers, use of up-to-date teaching techniques,
use of equipment, preparation of textbooks, and construction of
curriculum should be made in such a manner that they can be
directed towards fulfilling the educational needs of the students
and avoiding the misuse of time, energy, and money.

21
 Flexibility

• Society is dynamic in nature, not static. Since

education aims to develop the child’s abilities in a
manner that would help in the development of society,
it becomes necessary to effect changes in school
organization from time to time.

22
 Collaboration

• Schools should promote collaboration among teachers,

staff, parents, and students to achieve common goals.
• Collaboration improves the way your team works
together and solves problems. This leads to more
innovation, efficient processes, increased success, and
improved communication.

23
 Effective leadership

• Schools must have effective leadership that provides

teachers and staff direction, support, and motivation.
• Strong leaders create a better academic environment
for students and faculty, creating measurable
outcomes demonstrating improvements.

24
 Continuous improvement

• School organizations should be committed to

continuous improvement, which involves regularly
evaluating their performance, identifying areas for
improvement, and implementing changes.

25
 Equity

• Schools should strive to provide equal opportunities

for all students, regardless of their background or
circumstances.
• They are more likely to do better in their studies, go
on to pursue higher education, and contribute
positively to their communities.
• Ensures that all students feel like they belong and do
well in school, no matter where they come from.
26
 Safety and Security

• Schools must prioritize the safety and security of

students and staff by implementing appropriate safety
measures.
• Keeping schools safe allows children to look forward
to being in an encouraging environment that promotes
social and creative learning.

27
 Transparent communication

• Effective communication is essential in school

organization; all stockholders should have access to
relevant information.
• Serves as the lifeblood fueling the success of every
thriving organization.
• Ensure smooth operations, foster collaboration, and
drive positive outcomes.
