School SCHOOL
A School Management Committee (SMC) is a governing body established within a school to oversee and guide the administration, management, and development of the school. It typically consists of various stakeholders, including school staff, parents, community members, and sometimes students, all working together to improve the overall quality of education and create a conducive learning environment. The SMC plays an essential role in ensuring transparency, accountability, and inclusivity in decision-making processes.
Policy Development: The SMC helps in formulating and reviewing policies related to the school's educational practices, curriculum, and administrative procedures.
School Improvement: It works toward the overall improvement of the school's facilities, infrastructure, and academic performance.
Budgeting and Resource Management: The committee is often involved in approving budgets, allocating resources, and ensuring that funds are used appropriately for the development of the school.
Monitoring and Evaluation: It monitors the school’s performance, evaluates outcomes, and suggests improvements to ensure the school meets educational standards and goals.
Parent and Community Involvement: By engaging parents and community members, the SMC fosters a partnership between the school and the wider community to support students’ educational needs.
Ensuring Accountability: The SMC works to ensure that the school's management is accountable to both the students and the community, addressing any issues related to discipline, teaching standards, and the welfare of students and staff.
School Safety and Welfare: Ensuring a safe and inclusive environment for students, as well as promoting the welfare of both staff and students.
