We say this taking our cue from business administration education.

Self reflection

  • The dean of the Harvard Business School subsequently called for “great introspection”.
  • Harvard’s courage in dealing with the question of its business education is an inspiring lesson on how to confront the flaws of teaching for other fields.

Worrying trends in the teaching of public administration

  • Our analyses indicate that much of what is taught in public administration is not what the country needs to become a capable and developmental state.
  • Public administration education does not appreciate the imperative of socioeconomic transformation for social and ecological justice, or the role of technology.
  • In the 1980s, “New Public Management” become a staple diet pushed down the throats of students of public administration.
  • All this occurred because of the void in the teaching of public administration.

But what must be done

  • Professional associations exist to inculcate a culture of professionalism that many lament is lacking in the management of state affairs.
  • For far too long, collaborative efforts in the teaching of public administration have been a cursory pursuit bereft of strategic intent.
  • Theories of the state and citizenship, and the principles of democracy, need to underpin the teaching of public administration too.
  • Public administration needs to go beyond studying systems and processes, and the neoliberal logic associated with New Public Management.
