Performance of New Zealand´s State secondary schools by Malik and Davey provides a stakeholder based approach to identify schools´ stakeholders. It provides a method to categorise the schools´ stakeholders as marginal, ordinary, important and key in terms of their salience as perceived by the schools´ management. Seven core key performance factors (KPFs) from the teachers and parents perspective have been identified, which are indicative of their expectations from the schools´ management. This monograph also discusses the implications of the KPFs of parents and teachers, which assists schools´ management to prioritise expectations of parents and teachers. Additionally this monograph provides schools´ management with a template for evaluating teacher performance, that is based on a transactional relationship between teachers and the schools´ management. Performance of New Zealand´s secondary schools is written in a clear and engaging style so that schools´ management may apply it in their respective schools, in order to improve school performance holistically.
