Gandhi said, ‘By education, I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man – body, mind, and spirit.’ That definition presents an imposing mandate to educational administrators, whose job it is to lead teams to design curriculum, resources, technologies, and policies which will impact learners at all levels.
From elementary and high schools to colleges, universities, business settings, and government agencies, educational administrators are the facilitators of educational change and progress.
