Think that education should not be seen a business is the first step for an educational bankruptcy recently I read a story on education as business, where the author focused all their resources in disqualify the application of a business profile to education systems. It was clear that the reporter referred to those schools that offer low quality education at a high cost, where perhaps the mentality of the owner or the Council was to obtain more, giving less. Although this type of institutions have proliferated in recent years, the opposite vision that raised the article made me very dangerous. And I think know because this belief arises. In many countries of America the only business concept is pretty stigmatized, and this even affects people who depend on having a profitable business.
One of the sectors most affected by this belief is precisely that of education. Leaders of schools and institutions are very careful not to be perceived as business people, but as Directors of a charity. And it is at that point where save appearance collides with the financial livelihood. The quality of education and financial sustainability the quality of education should be a commitment for all persons from the academic sector. However, on many occasions the administrative aspect is left aside as if this was less important and as if it does not influence on the quality of education. The truth is that all education has a cost. A classic example is the lack of a comprehensive management system.
Some Directors considered that you have administrative software is a luxury that cannot be taken. However, in my opinion the luxury is not having a system. See the implementation of a system as a spending has consequently fail to see money leaks. Currently there are many software options for school administration. My favorite is Educandus, since it is a modular system that can grow with the institution. One of the key functions that Educandus offers is the integration of general ledger with the enrolment of students. This has the greatest of senses, since to give better monitoring students can detect situations that will eventually impact on fundraising. An example would be to detect the performance of pupils who are missing much or lowering in their academic performance. Detect and do something in this respect also will help us to maintain the level of income of the institution. A maxim which should govern in any institution, including and especially at public institutions, is the maximum utilization of resources, materials, financial and human. Systems like Educandus facilitate this achievement through the generation of relevant information. Education should be seen as a business where everybody wins, where we solve a need for a group of people and we are rewarded for it. The quality of education is intimately linked to the profitability, regardless of the parameters that are used to measure it. If there is a school which survives and grows without economic resources, by Please tell me where is!
