The theory of limited government holds that the power of the government should be restricted to protect the freedom and rights of individuals. In the field of education, limited education administration means that the government should maintain a moderate and limited degree of management and intervention in education.

The core idea of limited education administration is to respect the choice of families and individuals and encourage the diversity and autonomy of schools and educational institutions. Advocate the decentralization of educational power to educators who are closer to the grassroots level, such as schools, educational institutions, teachers and parents. The role of the government should focus more on providing educational infrastructure, formulating appropriate educational policies and monitoring the quality of education, rather than excessively interfering with educational content and teaching methods.

The goal of limited education administration is to realize the efficiency, quality and fairness of education. By encouraging market competition and diversified educational choices, limited education management tries to provide better education quality and meet the needs of different students and families. It emphasizes parents' rights and responsibilities, and allows parents to choose appropriate educational methods according to their own values, cultural background and educational needs, such as public schools, private schools, family education and online education.

However, limited education management does not mean complete anarchy or neglect of education supervision and quality assurance. The government still has the responsibility to ensure the fair distribution of educational opportunities, protect the rights and interests of vulnerable groups, and ensure that the basic requirements and quality standards of educational content are observed.

In a word, limited education administration is to limit the government's management and intervention in the field of education, respect the choice of families and individuals, and encourage the autonomy and diversity of schools and educational institutions, so as to provide better education quality and meet different needs. It emphasizes market competition, parents' rights and responsibilities, and ensures the fairness and quality of education through basic supervision and quality assurance.
