The book highlights the relation between cost and efficiency in the school system under different managements viz. Government, Unaided and Aided run-schools. How the better planning and management of limited resources can improve the performance in the system has been discussed with the support of a case study of few schools. The book argues that better performance of any school can not be attributed to financial resources alone there are several non-monetary factors also.
In this book efforts are made to guard against the myth that without abundant funds for facilities, schools can not deliver the quality; and resource abundance is also no guarantee for school effectiveness. It is in this sense resources planning and management in schools play vital role.
The book may be found useful by heads and the management of schools, and the policy makers.
