The governance and accountability notions are two facets of same coin that involves exercise of power and authority as per the legal and social norms, values and practices as well as fulfill the accountability in practice. There are some of the important components that come together while conceptualizing the good governance which are rule of law, participation, transparency, justice, equality, equity etc.
The effective management in education institutions is only possible when education leaders commit themselves to follow the notion of accountability, transparency, responsiveness, equity, inclusivity, while exercising the authority through participatory process.
