Education plays a dominant role as an effective instrument for large scale achievement and revolution in all spheres. Purposeful education enables the individual to understand and study the real life situation and to develop an opportunity for creating confidence in the minds of younger generation, and provide a strong base for rational and value-oriented and nation building progress. 'Humanities' courses in higher education play a significant role in this context. Therefore, a close introspection of the trend of humanities courses in higher education is essential; not only for making them attractive, but also in shaping them to be socially relevant, obviously, the courses in humanities are considered non-utility-oriented subjects, whereas they involve heavy cost to the exchequer.

The restructuring of school governance, especially in urban school districts, is fundamental in current educational reform. This book provides a model of school governance based upon participatory democracy, derived from the "developmental" tradition in political theory. The result is a system of governance that is fundamentally integrated, in that it is simultaneously participative, communicative, associative, and nonviolent, as well as sensitive to the need for collective, democratic deliberation concerning community-wide interests. This model is critically compared to the bureaucratic model of school governance and current school-based management plans.
