摘要：This paper highlights the challenges of the heads of schools in the context of the underachieving primary schools which are termed as Zones d'Education Prioritaires - ZEP schools (Priority Education Zones as its English translation would mean). These schools are found in the deprived regions of the Republic of Mauritius and have been given specific considerations by the government. This significance of this paper lies in its attempt to explore those planning processes from a perspective of implementing a total quality management approach while delivering on the set objectives with the right leadership style. The arguments presented can provide some answers to questions asked about the failing schools. The discussions are framed around developing a standard management protocol and therefore evolving a School Improvement Framework (SIF) to improve performance of ZEP schools in the country. The above considerations are important as they are part of the educational reform agenda of the Ministry of Education as it meets the internationally agreed goals.
