This book of case studies presents episodes in the organizational lives of educational institutions that preoccupy practitioners and educational managers, as well as parents and the society at large. The book deals with 131 cases under 15 different sections. Some of the important sections concern administrative management, time management, the financial and legal aspects of education, conflict, personnel administration, and change. These important areas of management apply beyond the context of educational institutions, to include practices in private and public sector institutions.

This book, edited by Professor Errol Miller, presents several policy initiatives taken by selected Caribbean countries to transform their educational systems to make them more efficient in realizing their objectives. The countries included are Jamaica, Belize, the Bahamas, Barbados, Guyana, and the OECS territories.
