Challenges And Development Paths of School Culture Formation

The National Curriculum, which is the main tool for achieving the goals of the educational reform, sets out requirements that every school must follow in three areas: focusing on the personal growth of each student; adapting the learning process to constructivist ideas; and creating a school culture that supports and cares for children. The study of the characteristics and behaviour of school organisational cultures has traditionally occupied an important place in foreign research related to the field of school management, although this problem has not been practically addressed in Georgian scientific practice. The study's goal is to look into, analyse, and build the building blocks of a school culture centred on care and support in Georgia's public and private schools. This is to protect the school's conceptual integrity, make work more efficient, and carry out the mission, which is based on the national goals of general education. The article discusses the essence of organisational culture, its visible manifestations in Georgian schools, and the typology of organisational culture, the understanding of which is important for both the school principal and the pedagogical team, as it will help the school community to determine what is permissible and what is not allowed within the framework of a particular culture.
