 EDUCATIONAL
MANAGEMENT
• Educational management is a field of study
and practice concerned with the operation of
educational organizations. There is no single
generally accepted definition of the subject
because its development has drawn heavily
on several more firmly established
disciplines, including sociology, political
science, economics and general management.
• Bolam (1999: 194) defines educational
management as ‘an executive function
for carrying out agreed policy’. He
differentiates management from
educational leadership which has ‘at its
core the responsibility for policy
formulation and, where appropriate,
organizational transformation’
(ibid.: 194).
 What is the importance of
management?
Management is crucial for the success of any
organization. It involves planning, organizing,
coordinating and directing a group of people to
accomplish to achieve specific goals and
objectives effectively. To be an effective
leader, you must understand how to manage
your workforce.
