Abstract	Abstract While the improved management of education in developing countries is widely canvassed, training for management is frequently neglected. The premise of this paper is that a major impact can be made by identifying, selecting, training and supervising key cadres of local management. Since 1972, Tanzanian policy has been to decentralize planning and management responsibilities to regions and districts. However, in many regions there has been a breakdown of managerial capabilities of Regional Office teams. District officers have more tangible responsibility, and at a more local level, ward co-ordinators play a key role. A survey of practice indicates major weaknesses in management at regional and district levels, compounded by logistical difficulties, although there are many examples of innovative creativity, and training has been carried out in Tanzania and overseas. Training needs analysis has shown up 12 skill areas, which are presented here as targets for a training curriculum. In summary these are: knowledge of socioeconomic conditions and policies; statistics; financial control; management and maintenance of physical facilities; management of micro-projects; communication; personnel management; administration of public examinations; in-service training management; office administration; research and evaluation; and curriculum management.
