Abstract
The last six months have been an educative experience.
I am part of a group of researchers who were looking
for good practices in decentralised school management
for quality inclusive education in government schools. We
were informed that the Communitisation initiative in Nagalandis a good model whereby the day-to-day management of
the elementary school (and other social sector programmes
in health and child development) have been delegated to
the community, as represented by the village council. Our
first stop was a school not far from Dimapur to meet with
a group of people led by the head of the village council, a
few parents, the headmaster of the school and other local
leaders comprise of the Village Education Committee (VEC).
We were informed that the communitisation process has
empowered the VEC to manage the school. They disburse
salaries and grant casual leave to teachers and the staff
of the school, procure furniture and stationery and appoint
substitute teachers against long-term vacancy.
