ABSTRACT
In order to better understand how resource management strategies, affect overall school performance, we must explore the complex totality of resource management in educational institutions in this study. It covers a wide range of resources that are essential to the operation of schools, such as financial resources that includes funding allotments, human resources that includes assigning task and responsibilities of the employees, and facility upkeep and use, where physical resources are involved. Through the use of a thorough research methodology that integrates quantitative investigation, the goal of the study is to reveal trends and insights into resource management strategies.
The commendable performance of school heads in properly managing financial, physical and human resources is highlighted by the findings of this study. High weighted mean scores that demonstrate competence in areas like financial transparency and indirect assessments as proof of this.
Nevertheless, it also a notable difference in the assessment of resource management strategies among external stakeholders, underscoring the variety of viewpoints and concerns related to resource distribution in educational environments.
Although there are differences, this research shows that school heads and teachers consistently have good perspective about the way schools are performing based on a number of criteria, such as learner achievement, teacher performance, access and facilities, and client satisfaction. This shows that these schools are generally regarded as effective in meeting stakeholder expectations and providing high-quality education.
The data also shows a strong relationship between school performance and effective resource management, highlighting the crucial role that resource allocation strategies play in promoting successful educational results. But it also highlights important issues that school heads of schools must deal with, like growing class sizes and inadequate facilities, which call for careful consideration and well-thought-out solutions.
To address these issues, the researcher provides the Localized Resource Management Model (LRMM), which promotes customized resource management strategies that place an emphasis on community cooperation and context-adaptability, which the willingness to change in order to suit different conditions in relation to school’s environment. The LRMM aims to improve overall educational attainment and treat the particular requirements and difficulties faced by schools within the educational institutions by highlighting the significance of localized approaches and community involvement.
As a result, this study provides insightful information to educational leaders and politicians who aim to improve resource allocation procedures and encourage constructive changes in the field of education.
External stakeholders can ensure equal access to high-quality education and foster learner achievement in the schools and beyond by making informed decisions and implementing targeted interventions by understanding the compound progress of resource management and its impact on school performance.
