This process of change finds its significance in the formation of networks that were expected to give our education system the needed make-over for it to become compatible with the globalised world. If the school network reform – which addressed the themes and issues of autonomy, decentralisation and collaboration – was to come to fruition the development of a new work ethic, in and beyond schools, was needed. The central administration has to truly move away from a command-and-control mindset to a supportive and collaborative mentality while the schools and the teachers had to change their professional approach from one of isolation to that of collaboration and collegiality.
