Distinction Between Governance and Management

Governance deals with

  • approving, reviewing and monitoring the educational character and mission of the college, its services and academic activities
  • formulating the medium and long term strategy of the college including quality and monitoring the performance of the Principal as CEO against that strategy

College management, led by the Principal, is responsible for

  • developing and proposing the educational character and mission of the college to the governing board
  • developing and managing services and academic activities
  • implementing the medium and long term strategies formulated by the governing board
  • the day to day running of the business of the college.
