About

This is the second yearbook of the Australian Council for Educational Administration. It argues that more gender representative management is necessary to improving educational effectiveness and that feminist insights on management can make a significant contribution to the improvement of educational systems and schools. Despite EEO legislation, women remain heavily under-represented at senior levels in educational systems and schools. Gender and Changing Educational Management addresses the reasons for this inequity and what can be done about it. Drawing upon the work of leading international and Australian scholars, and stressing the interplay of theory, practice and personal experience, its approach to feminism is eclectic, ranging across the political and theoretical spectrum. This is a work of interest to all those involved in reforming educational administration.
