Operators' Duties Redefined

Under the decision, all operators would have until August to meet the new rule, which would make the operator the only qualified full-time person responsible for carrying out the academic, administrative, and financial responsibilities of the school. At present, the operator and principal are different posts.

The SEC took the decision on the belief that clearly stipulating responsibilities is an important factor for achieving accountability at Independent Schools, one of the main principles of the education reform initiative. The change would not eliminate school operators but merely aims to strengthen the roles and responsibilities of principals so that the objectives of the education reform can be achieved.
