The manual on Basic Requirements and Minimum Standards (BRMS) Indicators for Education institutions is an important tool and big step towards facilitating and guiding institutions, (both Government, community and private), in creating a conducive learning environment by putting in -place measures and mechanisms essential for prevention, alleviation or total elimination of impediments to the achievement of quality education in this Country. The BRMS advances further, Government's and Education Development Partners' efforts and commitment to support schools in this endeavor. The BRMS provides a strong foundation and comprehensive framework for an effective and systematic development, organization and management of schools. This is critical in guaranteeing academic excellence, and also in promoting physical and mental health, safety and security and child- friendly environments essential in delivering quality education. More than ever before, school managers need to adhere to Government policy and guidelines for effective organization and management of the education functions under their jurisdictions. This manual details the structures, systems and procedures essential for enhancing this. It also highlights the need and how learners and staff can actively participate in the organization and management of their schools by evaluating and appraising key day-to-day activities on top of being aware of policies and guidelines that affect them as cited in this manual.
