Abstract
The concept of Bureaucracy, here, is viewed as a means of Organizing work which permits or encourages coordination. coordination in turn is achieved in hierarchy of graded authority regulated by rules and depersonalizing mechanisms. as such Bureaucracy is not a bed of roses for individuals. It is rather a system of administration which is destined to institutionalize work in organizations.
Schools are the basic Organizational units in the educational institutions; they have the role of dividing the work and integrating results. Thus, schools are becoming more bureaucratically structured. It is suggested that, the idea of bureaucratization of schools confirmed, to a considerable degree, Weber's specification of bureaucracy on the basis of their division of labor, their hierarchical structures, their rules and regulations, their procedures and their impersonal treatment based on competence. Hence, the educational version of bureaucracy is seen as a set of six-dimensions.
