Problem:

(a) "Schools do not have to be in geographic vicinity to create networks to achieve synergy for transformation" (Brian Caldwell). Critically analyse the extent to which you agree with this statement. Suppose the significance of the Jomtien World Conference (March 1990) with respect to working together for success.

(b) Consider a typology of collaborative process involved in building a strong school culture underpinned by empowerment, formation of identity, shared values and strong communication channels across the broad school community. Substantiate your answer with examples.

(c) Examine the concept "archetypical leaders" as applied in education within the framework of an interplay of diverse community interests. Assess the significance of this concept in the light of creating the "futures focused school" (Brian Caldwell).
