Advantages of SBM:
Local control: SBM allows schools to make decisions that are specific to their individual needs, rather
than being dictated by a centralized authority.
Flexibility: Schools have the ability to respond quickly to changes in student needs, community
demographics, and other factors that may impact student learning.
Improved student outcomes: Research has shown that SBM can lead to improved academic
performance, attendance rates, and graduation rates.
Disadvantages of SBM:
Unequal distribution of resources: SBM can lead to inequities in resource allocation, particularly if
schools serving disadvantaged communities do not have the same level of resources as more affluent
schools.
Lack of expertise: Schools may not have the necessary expertise to make informed decisions on issues
such as budgeting or curriculum development.
Accountability concerns: Without strong oversight, there is a risk that schools may not be held
accountable for their decisions or performance.
Time and resource constraints: SBM requires significant time and resources to implement effectively,
which may not be feasible for all schools.
