Το αυτόνομο σχολείο στην Κύπρο: ένα παράδειγμα αξιοποίησης της μεθόδου Delphi για υποβοήθηση της πραγματοποίησης του επιθυμητού μέλλοντος

Περίληψη

This paper examines the school of the future, aiming to identify and aid the implementation of the most desired version of autonomous financial management (AFM) in primary education schools of Cyprus. More specifically, the study initially forecasts the areas of financial decisions that the school of the future might autonomously manage, identifies the negative effects that may appear along the way and seeks support measures that could enhance a school’s efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, after both the probable and the desired future emerge, the paper proceeds in examining the reasons causing the divergence between them, as well as ways in which the two futures may be better aligned.
