  • Secondary School Effectiveness: an Empirical Study in the Country of Bahrain
    Secondary school effectiveness: An empirical study in the country of Bahrain By Tahani Hasan Ali Maki A Thesis Submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel Business School Brunel University London August 2017 Abstract Bahrain is a developed country that faces different economic and political challenges. Economically, Bahrain depends mostly on oil. However, there are some attempts to diversify its economy. Bahrain has established several economic projects to boost its economy including Bahrainization (Nationalization), Tamkeen (Labour fund), the Bahrain Business Incubator center, the banking sector, transport and communication, manufacturing and education. The Ministry of Education has established various educational projects to accommodate Bahrain Vision 2030, which aims to diversify the economy of Bahrain, building strategies of government and encouragement of a partnership between the private and public sector and the provision of an effective education system based on well trained teachers, enhancing the performance of public schools, provision of equal education opportunities for all students and improving and encouraging scientific education. This study investigates the different measures of secondary school effectiveness in Bahrain as a result of the new development of the education system in Bahrain including both teaching and improvement programs. These were initiated by the Ministry of Education in Bahrain and educational specialists. The literature reviews showed that secondary school effectiveness has been examined using specific factors – students’ performance, teachers’ performance, leadership. However, other factors such as leader-member exchange, value congruence, supportive supervisor communication and task performance have not been investigated well in the education sector and at the secondary school level in particular. The aim of this research is to investigate the impact of leader-member exchange, value congruence, supportive supervisor communication and task performance on secondary school effectiveness in Bahrain.

ADHRB is a non-profit organization that fosters awareness of and support for democracy and human rights in Bahrain and the Middle East. 2.

ADHRB and BCCS welcome the opportunity to contribute to the third cycle of the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Bahrain.

  • Down to the Wire in Bahrain: Last Chance for Real Political Reform
    DIRECTORATE-GENERAL FOR EXTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT POLICY BRIEFING Down to the wire in Bahrain: Last chance for real political reform Abstract After months of rising tension and despair in Bahrain, a slight glimmer of hope has appeared: on 7 December, Crown Prince Salman called for dialogue with the country’s opposition to break the political deadlock. His speech was met positively by the centre- left Wa’ad party and al-Wefaq, the largest party representing the country’s Shia population. Up until now, the country's reform process had reached a stalemate. The national dialogue had been deferred, despite the recommendations of the Independent Inquiry Commission of November 2011, endorsed by King Hamad, the United Nations, the European Union and the United States. The country's political scene has become increasingly polarised, and the positions of hardliners within the regime and the opposition are increasingly entrenched. The country, its economy and political stability would all benefit from a salutary dose of dialogue and moderation to overcome the vicious circle of violence and provocation. The EU can contribute to this by conducting a dialogue with the Bahraini authorities and civil society. The Union should support the democratic opposition and moderate factions within the regime: the signatories of the October 2011 Manama Document and Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad.
