Some of these challenges are to improve the educational quality; to decrease of the dropouts; to improve the academic achievement; to promote equity in educational services access; to increment timely attention and an immediate response to students´ formation needs according to the current context. School directors must operate different school programs to stimulate the increment of students´ matriculation; they have to take actions to expand infrastructure; to improve tutorial services and educational counselling; they have also implement teachers´ formation and training; additionally they have to foster peer and self-evaluation. All these situations place the executive personnel in contraposition of the teachers and of the clerical staff.

The aforesaid challenging actions have led to the convenience of doing an investigation about how school management fits and influences the educational services towards competencies development and the application of academic accompaniment program, considered as management mechanisms that support classroom work. The diagnostic work yielded information about the deficient areas in some management tasks.
