Introduction
Overview
Operating educational organizations is the focus of the research and
practice of educational management. The focus in educational
administration is on the objectives of learning. These aims or
objectives give administrators of educational organizations the
essential feeling of focus. There is a risk of "managerialism... placing
emphasis on processes at the cost of educating goals and values"
until this connection between aim and leadership is apparent and
strong. "Management does not have any overarching objectives or
principles of its own to pursue. The goal of leadership may be to
maximize effectiveness, yet in this scenario, effectiveness is defined
by how well those objectives were accomplished.
Definition of Management
Management:
Management is the procedure of organizing,
guiding, motivating, and regulating the activities of
an organization's facts (monetary, material, and
personnel) in order to effectively and profitably
accomplish its objectives.
Needs of Educational Management
In the words of Kandel, "the basic goal of educational management is to put learners
and educators in such circumstances in order to successfully achieve the purposes of
learning.
Sir Graham Balfour describes the goal of educational management in the following
way: "The objective of educational management is to permit eligible students to obtain
the appropriate education through the appropriate educators, at a price within the
government's means, allowing students to benefit from their studies.
To maintain and withstand the modifications caused by developments within the
government, an adequate management structure needs to be established to maximize
the utilization of the assets that are accessible. The authority that educational facilities
have over governing bodies, examinations, and certifying procedures is deemed
significant in modern times. These challenges need to be examined by the leadership
of education.
