ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that management education and training for senior staff in schools and colleges are widely recognized as an area of great interest and potential development. In discussing educational management in the United Kingdom, Harry Gray, 1987, observes that there is some confusion concerning the terms education and training. Management education is the wider concept implying a broad concern with the understanding of relationships and issues, while management training is more specifically the learning of skills and techniques to be used in a particular context. Initial award-bearing courses in business education should be followed, he suggests, by a combination of study and managerial apprenticeship, akin to the concept of internship mentioned in the chapter. It may therefore be salutory to end with two comparisons: first with recent developments in educational administration in the United States, and second with the planned expansion of general management training in the United Kingdom.
