The Ministry’s large Head Office, consisting of 36 divisions, is the
legacy of a highly centralised education system. Multiple divisions are
often involved in key day-to-day processes such as teacher recruitment
and placement, and development planning. While this is the natural
consequence of a system as complex as the education system, this has
also given rise to process inefficiency.
For example, teacher recruitment and placement currently involves
at least six different divisions at any one time, each of which is
responsible for a different part of the process (Exhibit 6-3). The
difficulty with this arrangement is that each division is optimising
for a slightly different outcome, and that there is no single division
responsible for ensuring that the different objectives are drawn
together. The result is that the Ministry struggles with mismatches in
the supply and demand of teachers, though each division has delivered
precisely on its requirements.
