Introduction

Educational management is a field of study and practice concerned with the operation of educational
organizations. Educational management is centrally concerned with the purpose or aims of education.
These purposes or goals provide the crucial sense of direction to underpin the management of
educational institutions. Unless this link between purpose and management is clear and close, there
is a danger of "managerialism . . . a stress on procedures at the expense of educational purpose and
values". "Management possesses no super-ordinate goals or values of its own. The pursuit of efficiency
may be the mission statement of management - but this is efficiency in the achievement of objectives
which others define".
