1.1 Background of the problem

There are 5 types of school which are private school, international

school, national school, smart school and technique school. Based on

the students achievement and the organization of the school, we want

to know whether the organization of the school affects students

achievement.

1.2 Problem Statement

Referring to the above statement we would like to carry out a research

regarding the degree of influence of the school organization on the

students outcome. Subsequently, we would like to look over whether

the organization of the schools gives positive feedback on the students

achievement.

1.3 Research Objective

1.3.1 To identify whether the school has regularity in conducting

assessments.

1.3.2 To identify the different organization in the schools.

1.3.3 To identify the best organization that provide positive outcomes

in students achievement where focusing on academic and co-

curricular activities.

1.4 Research Question

Schools in Malaysia are categorized to private and government-

sponsored schools. Here we would like to emphasize the organization

of secondary education in Malaysia (referring to number of schools in

Malaysia). Do the organizations in these schools influence the

students outcomes?

1.5 Significance of the Study

Schools are service organizations that are committed to

teaching and learning. The ultimate goal of the student is student

learning; in fact, its very existence is based on such activity. Schools

more than any other kind of organization should be learning

organizations. They should be places where participants continually

expand their capacities to create and achieve, where novel patterns of

thinking are encouraged, where collective aspirations are nurtured,

where participants learn how to learn together, and where the

organization expands its capacity for innovation and problem solving

(Senge, 1990; Watkins and Marsick, 1993).

If schools are to be effective learning organizations, they must

find ways to create structures that continuously support teaching and

learning and enhance organizational adaptation; develop organizational

cultures and climates that are open, collaborative, and self regulating;

attract individuals who are secure, efficacious and open to change; and

prevent vicious and illegitimate politics from displacing the legitimate

activities of learning and teaching. Transformational leadership, open

and continuous communication, and shared decision making are

mechanisms that should and can enhance organizational learning in

schools. The challenge is to create schools that have the capacity to

respond effectively not only to contemporary problems, but also to

new and emerging issues of school effectiveness.

Schools are embedded within districts established by

communities to provide both educational and extracurricular activities

for young people and a centre for social, political, and cultural

community events.

1.6 Hypothesis

We assume that generally private schools, smart schools and

international schools own better organizations compared to national

schools and technique schools. This is because private schools, smart

schools and international schools are equipped with enough facilities

and they are commonly well known as vision and mission oriented

schools. Where as national schools and technique schools do have

these facilities as well as vision and mission but with limited scope.
