المستخلص In the meantime, the whole world is witnessing new waves of change and rapid development in many fields, the main features of these changes manifest in the knowledge explosion in an unprecedented manner in the human history, in addition to the technological and information evolution and what it imposes from challenges on institutions especially with the emergence of new concepts calling for developing and improving the level of performance. The educational institutions are not in isolation from these changes, as the rapid development has become a prerequisite imposed by the challenges of the current time, as well as requirements of the marketplace which require reconsidering the educational system in order to qualify the graduates capable of take part in the compete. Thus, the development of the educational process is a continuous procedure, imposed by the continuous change in every aspect. Secondary education is considered as a fruitful field for development and change as a highly influential circle by virtue of its position in the educational hierarchy and age-specific. But, on considering the reality of the public secondary education in Egypt, we find that it still suffers from many dilemmas mostly debated in the scientific researches and studies which have been conducted in the last three decades. These exerted efforts and projects did not achieve the hoped improvement and failed in handling the secondary school related problems. Thus, there is a prerequisite need to conduct some developments helping in improving the educational process in a way fulfilling the objectives the school was established for. This could be achieved via adopting new managerial methods in the domains of educational and school management. The school management has the potentiality of development and overcome the deficiencies in performance by employing six sigma methods, as it targets at raising the efficiency of the educational process regarding student affaires and curricula, in addition to achieving significant gains concerning the development of the main standards of quality, raising community and student satisfaction, decreasing the time spent in conducting school business, decreasing deficiencies in every procedure conducted by the school management. Additionally, this method allows providing more opportunities for communication between students, staff and suppliers, including serious methods to assess their performance. Research problem: In spite of the significance of the public secondary education in providing students with the social, economic and scientific concepts which are prerequisite for achieving conformity with the society and qualifying them to join the tertiary and university education, this grade still suffers from crystal clear deficiencies in the current managerial methods. Based on the previous-mentioned statement, the problem of the current research could be encapsulated in the following main question: By employing six sigma method, How to develop the management of the public secondary school? The following sub-questions stem from the previous one: 1) What is the current reality of the general secondary school management in Egypt? 2) What is the nature of six sigma, besides its related phases, principles, tools, and stages of implementation? 3) How to employ six sigma method in developing the management of the secondary school? 4) What is the proposed concept to improve the management of the secondary school by employing six sigma method?، Research objectives: The current research targets at detecting the following: 1) The current reality of the public secondary school in Egypt. 2) Phases, tool, principles, nature and stages of implementing six sigma. 3) The potentiality of applying six sigma methods to improve the management of the public secondary school in Egypt. 4) Reaching a proposed concept to improve the management of the secondary school in Egypt by using six sigma methods. Research importance: The importance of the current research stems from the following: § The prerequisite need to upgrade the school management in the public secondary school, especially under the current deficiencies. § Six sigma methods is a new subject succeeded in improving the performance of service and industrial institutions. § Six sigma methods could assist managers of the secondary school in settling and solving many dilemmas faced by them on steering their schools. Researchmethodology: The current research makes use of the descriptive method in order to study the current problem concerning describing the phenomena depending on collecting facts and data to treat and analyze them sufficiently in order to draw its essence and significance, besides interpreting and analyzing them. The descriptive method could be the most adequate method to identify the current state of the school management in the public secondary school and describing the need to apply six sigma method, as well as the statistical method to handle the findings of the field framework، Research tools: The current research made use of the following tools: § Field Visits: The researcher paid field visits to some public secondary schools. § Questionnaire: To identify the potentiality of improving the management of the public secondary school by using six sigma method, while directed to managers, teachers and agents of the public secondary schools in Al-Qalyoubeya governorate. § Personal Interviews: To identify the current state of the public secondary school, the most important problems faced by it, as well as identifying the requirements of applying six sigma method as one of the modern methods of management in the secondary school. Research limits: Represented in the following: § Objective Limit: Represented in a proposed concept to improve the management of the public secondary school in Egypt by employing six sigma methods. § Geographical Limit: The current research is confined to public secondary schools in Al-Qalyoubeya governorate. § Human Limit: The current research is confined to managers and agents, as the officials responsible of steering the managerial business within school. § Time Limit: Time consumed in conducting the research. From 4/2012, to 5/2012، Research objectives: The current research targets at detecting the following: 1) The current reality of the public secondary school in Egypt. 2) Phases, tool, principles, nature and stages of implementing six sigma. 3) The potentiality of applying six sigma methods to improve the management of the public secondary school in Egypt. 4) Reaching a proposed concept to improve the management of the secondary school in Egypt by using six sigma methods. Research importance: The importance of the current research stems from the following: § The prerequisite need to upgrade the school management in the public secondary school, especially under the current deficiencies. § Six sigma methods is a new subject succeeded in improving the performance of service and industrial institutions. § Six sigma methods could assist managers of the secondary school in settling and solving many dilemmas faced by them on steering their schools.
