I. Meaning:

Educational management is a science that studies the process and laws of educational management. According to the characteristics of educational management objects, it can be divided into broad sense and narrow sense. Education management in a broad sense takes the management of the whole national education system as the research object, while education management in a narrow sense takes a certain type of school organization as the research object.

Education management is to study what kind of social positive conditions can be used to stimulate the incentive factors in education and change the restrictive factors in education. In addition, the quality of education management is also judged by its social benefits.
