Abstract

This study seeks to delineate the concept of educational administration, regarded as the principal authority and influence over educational institutions (schools), serving as the paramount reference for all such entities through its functions of planning, organization, guidance, control, implementation, and evaluation of operations and matters pertaining to school educational institutions. It also functions to provide directives and monitor the implementation procedures executed by the school administration, which endeavors to enforce the regulations and systems established by the education administration. This study aims to delineate the distinction between educational administration and school administration by elucidating the notion of each and examining their respective importance, objectives, characteristics, and functions.


The study concluded that the distinction between educational administration and school administration lies in the fact that school administration is regarded as a subset of educational administration, while the link between them is a private-to-public relationship.
