Description:
While the school systems in advanced countries are progressing towards a well defined accountability system, India also has to move in that direction aiming at improved quality and efficiency. This paper is an integral part of the doctoral dissertation – ‘A study of Management Practices of Secondary Schools'. The objective of the study is to understand the opinions of the heads of school regarding the need for a comprehensive accountability framework. Primary data was collected from a stratified sample of 188 secondary schools among four types of managements in Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh in India and was analyzed through chi-square test with SPSS-17. The findings reveal a strong association between the type of school management and the preference for accountability framework. Schools under public sector were reluctant while the aided managements were equally divided whereas the same was largely supported by a majority of the unaided managements
