Abstract More than 98 million adolescent girls are not in school. Can girls inuence their schooling without changes in their family's economic environment? In Rajasthan, India, we examine the impact of a school-based life skills program that seeks to address low aspirations, narrow societal roles for girls and women, restricted networks of social support, and limited decision-making power. We find the intervention causes a 25 percent decline in school dropout that persists from seventh grade through the transition to high school. Improvements in socioemotional support among girls exposed to the intervention seem especially important in their decision to stay in school.

What are the influences of school-based management (SBM) on schools’ organizational health? This study assessed the effects of SBM on schools operating in a centralized system of education. The health qualities of 28 schools were measured in a longitudinal study spanning 3 sequential years, including the year before introduction of SBM in schools and in the 2 years that followed implementation. The results indicated no significant changes when comparing the integrated index for school health among the 3 years. However, significant differences appeared when the various subsets of school health were compared. The results indicated that teachers put more emphasis on children's outcomes. Yet, at the same time, teachers reported having lower morale and increased bureaucratic load in comparison to the circumstances that existed in their school prior to the introduction of SBM. Implications for student growth and teacher development are discussed.

School-based management is a new method of managing school resources more effectively, which gives the principal greater authority in taking all participatory actions directly against all components of the school community. As such, this study seeks to ascertain the function of school-based administration in determining the efficacy of education implementation in schools. The data collection technique for this study is qualitative, utilizing descriptive methods and a literature review. The study's findings indicate that implementing school-based management is critical to the success of educational performance in schools, since the principal is given increased power and authority to manage all available resources in the school. Besides that, school-based management also involves the community through the school committee in every policymaking. It is hoped that every policy taken can be more targeted, which has implications for school progress. In this study, the authors also found that SBM monitoring and evaluation is needed to obtain the correct information to be used for appropriate decision making.
