Three resources for learning organisational change

Abstract

Singapore, like many other state educational systems, is in the throes of moving from a highly centralised structure towards a more diversified one in which schools are more autonomous learning organisations. Any paradigm shift is at best a slow and difficult process, and although the government is putting a lot of energy and resources into it, the changes are very large scale and made all the more difficult by a history of strongly hierarchical thinking and bureaucratic processes. © 2003, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
