Abstract
The paper presents an analysis of some features of measurement, i.e. the technical processes of quantifying and analysing (Bassett, 1969, p. 9) as related to schools, colleges and universities. After noting some of the forces behind the demand for measurement, consideration is given to several major aspects of the general topic, viz. (i) measuring the components of educational institutions, (ii) measuring the dynamics of educational institutions, and (iii) measuring the press (broadly, the atmosphere, ethos or climate) of educational institutions.
