Organizing for Empowerment

Empowerment has been defined as a process whereby school participants develop the competence to take charge of their own growth and resolve their own problems. Empowered individuals believe they have the skills and knowledge to act on a situation and improve it. Empowered schools are organizations that create opportunities for competence to be developed and displayed.

In our institution, the administration empowered all the employees and students by following the rules and guidelines of the school. Since our school is private, it is the Board of Trustees who empowered the school as a whole. They do such acts and decisions which are lawful and proper which may be deemed necessary or expedient for the accomplishment of the purposes of the corporation or furthermore of any of the objectives set forth by the laws. But sometimes it is discouraging because of the communication gap between employee and the top management. There is no constant communication with the employees regarding the changes implemented in an organization. But because of the desire and devotion towards our work, sometimes we empowered ourselves to survive whatever hardships encountered because as the saying goes:

We are born in order to teach
not
We teach in order to live

Its not bad to be empowered by the administrative personnel if the lawmaker is not a law breaker.
