The School Management Committee (SMC) consists of representatives of the local authority, parents or guardians of students, and the school's principal and teachers. 

SMCs play a pivotal role in developing the tri-annual School Development Plans and annual work plans for the school and highlights the critical role of parents as part of SMCs for developing a sense of ownership towards good education of their child and for strengthening and improving the performance of the school.

Overall, SMCs focus on the holistic development of the school, which not only accounts to ensure good school infrastructure but also supervision/monitoring of finance, management, and academic progress of children.
