| Περίληψη: | Although there is no person called head teacher in BRAC's non-formal primary schools,
however, the programme organisers (PO), each of whom look after 12-15 schools, playa
pivotal role in the operation of BRAC schools. This paper assessed the role of POs in the
management of BRAC schools. This is done in the light of the role that the head teachers in
formal primary schools do. The POs do not teach in the classrooms but they visit schools
twice a week, assess students' and teachers' performance through classroom observation and
surprise tests of the students, guide the teachers to better teaching and in preparing monthly
lesson plans, conduct monthly refreshers' training of the teachers and attending meetings of
the parent-teacher associations. The POs also visit students at their homes. Compared with
the role of a school head teacher it can be said that a PO plays a significant role in the
management of BRAC schools.
