An up-to-date reference for practitioners dealing with financial and resource management in schools and colleges The first part offers macro-national and international perspectives, and provides the context for chapters in Part Two, which cover different aspects of the management of finances and resources within schools and colleges. Of the several themes which underpin both parts of the book, perhaps the most important is the potential for links between financial management, the deployment of resources, and actual learning outcomes.
