A sharp and satirical work of British humour, How To Become Headmaster presents R. G. G. Price's wickedly comic guide to navigating the absurdities of school administration and academic life. Written in the tradition of tongue-in-cheek instructional parody, it instructs the aspiring educationalist in the unwritten rules, political manoeuvres, and carefully cultivated appearances required to rise to the top of the scholastic hierarchy. Price illustrates with dry wit how ambition, self-promotion, and the management of colleagues and parents matter far more than any genuine pedagogical talent. The result is a gleefully irreverent portrait of institutional life that will resonate with anyone who has ever worked within — or suffered under — the British educational establishment.
