Schools as a Bureaucracy

The school environment is based on hierarchical structure of leadership, standardization, and specialization. The bureaucratization of schools makes it difficult to prompt appropriate and immediate changes that befit the ever-changing society. Max Weber, a German sociologist, studied bureaucracy and made the term popular in academic literature and dissertation. He held the belief that to ensure rational organization then, this affects bureaucracy. It has many positive aspects. Regardless of the good intentions about the equal educational opportunity, children of the poor rarely learn effectively. Globalization has made schools less bureaucratic and management more liberal in providing new things to students. References Schaefer, R. T. (2017) Sociology: A Brief Introduction, (12th ed.
