School Manager’s Practice of Egoism and Utilitarianism: School and Ministry Procedures as Ethical Norms

Abdalhadi Nimer Abdalqader Abu Jweid

Abstract


This paper traces school manager’s practice of egoism and utilitarianism through school and ministry procedures as ethical norms. The educational process has many conditional disciplines which regulate the ordinary learning schedules at schools. In particular, some of these disciplines are issued by the school itself to maintain a healthy and harmonious school life. In this case, regulations are formed by the school management and staff members. On the other hand, there are some disciplines do not relate to the school regulations and decisions. They are regulated by a higher authority i.e., the ministry of education. Ministry decisions are applied to all schools of a certain country or region. Here, the conditional disciplines might have different points of view which could not satisfy the school’s normal vision. Both school decisions and ministry decisions sometimes contradict each other. This is because there are no common or mutual solutions to the moral problems concerning the school community. Accordingly, the contradiction between the school and the ministry results is moral problem including the norms of behavior. These norms are directed to comply with specific rules or policies which cannot be followed by the school students because of their social ethics.
