Abstract

The leadership competencies and the managerial abilities are important for every school development. However, to obtain the best results in the educational system, as in every public institution, it is important that the legislative framework to emphasize the managerial abilities, but also to allow them to develop their ideas and implement their strategy.The educational system requires manager’s flexibility and imagination but at the same time it requires a lot of responsibility and rigor in obtaining the educational goal. This paper aim is to compare the manager’s legislative barriers and responsibility and to analyze if the national framework allows them to develop a personal approach in managing the school. The paper presents some characteristics concerning national regulations in the educational system, pointing out the responsibilities of a manager’s and the means that allows him to obtain the best results. Using Eurydice tools and network, the OECD reports, the national arrangement concerning the educational policy and scholar’s researches, we compare the educational background and regulations concerning school manager’s duties, job requirements and decision-making choices within four decentralized educational systems.We present a short analysis of the recruitment process and responsibilities of public school managers and a comparison of these procedures within four countries: Romania, France, Spain and Finland. Our aim is to find the best legislative model that allows and explains long term school development.
