Because the social and political systems, national systems and cultural traditions of countries all over the world are different, the responsibilities and authorities of educational administrative departments in different countries are also very different. Generally speaking, the education administrative departments in various countries can be divided into two categories: central education administrative departments and local education administrative departments.
The central education administrative department, usually called the Ministry of Education, is the department in charge of education at the national level.
The local education administrative department refers to the organization, leadership and management of education by local governments at all levels in a country.
