Project Management and Governance
School governors
This body is responsible for the day to day running of the educational side of the project, ensuring that policy is not decided by the head teacher only. It is comprised of the headteacher, teachers representatives and local residents including parents of pupils. All that the non-teaching representatives need is the well being of the school at heart and an adherence to the philosophy regarding the link to education and development.
Board of trustees
This body has a wider remit to cover the developmental needs of the region around Bursalah not just the educational aspects of the project. It is comprised mainly of individuals of influence in the area and makes decisions on priorities for the further development of infrastructure in and around Bursalah.
