Partnership or Going It Alone?

Synopsis

Two case studies illustrate contrasting ways of managing resources - a partnership between a group of schools and a small, grant-maintained school going it alone outside the umbrella of the local education authority. The programme examines the reasons why the schools have adopted such different strategies and discusses the advantages and disadvantages, particularly in relation to the acquisiton and deployment of resources.

Notes

NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
