Abstract
A review of the literature reveals that education is undergoing radical change affecting both the organization of educational institutions and the content and delivery of the curriculum. Considerable interest is being shown in the reengineering and reinventing of education by leading thinkers and scholars worldwide. Leaders and managers in educational institutions are increasingly faced with the challenge of having to operate in a rapidly changing world and within new and uncertain frameworks. Terminologies such as "educational system", "educational reform" and "educational change" have distinct meanings and implications. Educational reform implies that the reform initiative is an attempt to correct a deficiency in the existing educational system without changing the essential elements of the system. Educational change is a socio-political transformative process of change resulting in an educational system significantly different from the one before the change initiative. In educational reform, most aspects of the educational system remain the same and are understood to be inherently a political process. For discussion purposes, these terminologies have been used interchangeably in this article.
