First of all, educational administrative activities are subject to the laws of education itself in many aspects, such as education is a labor-intensive undertaking, the periodicity of education is long, and the work of teachers is professional. It is not feasible to carry out administrative management in violation of these laws. For example, you can't use administrative means to force teachers to adopt a certain teaching method, because it doesn't conform to the laws of education; On the contrary, in enterprise management, you can directly control the working procedures of employees through machines and technologies.

Secondly, it is difficult to implement quantitative management in many aspects of educational administration. This is because education management will eventually be implemented in school work, and the cultivation of people by schools will be affected by many factors. For example, it is difficult for us to make accurate statistics on moral education management in a school.

Third, education is a high-value undertaking, so educational administration often involves ethical issues that other administrative departments do not often encounter. Moral and values issues. As some foreign scholars have said, school is the center of various conflicting values in society. From this point of view, it is impossible for the education administrative department to "remain neutral" as advocated by some scholars.

Fourthly, the effectiveness evaluation of educational administration is much more complicated than that of other administrative work. For example, it is difficult for us to evaluate whether the administration of a middle school is successful according to the results of the college entrance examination in that year, because there are too many influencing factors, many of which are subjective and uncontrollable. This difficulty in evaluation has brought some difficulties to the smooth performance of educational administrative functions.

Fifth, educational administrative activities can easily become the focus of social attention. The introduction of an education policy, because it involves a wide range, will often cause great social repercussions, and public opinion circles will also have heated discussions. This feature sometimes makes the education administrative department tend to be conservative and take a very cautious attitude when formulating new policies.
