Abstract: Better school management is associated with better pupil achievement, according to CEP analysis of the quality of management practices in schools in a range of developed and developing countries. Renata Lemos notes that the quality of school management is related to leadership traits of the head teachers - and that management practices have a greater effect on pupil outcomes than the effects of class size, competition or teaching quality.
