As of 2010, Christianity was by far the worldâs largest religion, with an estimated 2.2 billion adherents, nearly a third (31%) of all 6.9 billion people on Earth. Islam was second, with 1.6 billion adherents, or 23% of the global population. If current demographic trends continue, however, Islam will nearly catch up by the middle of the 21st century. Between 2010 and 2050, the worldâs total population is expected to rise to 9.3 billion, a 35% increase.
The major role of a school board of governors or management committee is to ensure the effective and accountable use of resources in the provision of public or private education. Typically, when this major role is expanded the following components may need to be included:
Governors must appoint the headteacher, and may be involved in the appointment of other staff. Governors also have a role in monitoring the schoolâs progress, and in setting annual targets for the schoolâs performance and for the headteacher (and ensuring that the headteacher sets targets for other staff).he headteacher of the school is responsible for day-to-day management of the school. The role of the Governing Body is to provide strategic management, and to act as a âcritical friendâ, supporting the work of the headteacher and other staff.
