Writing an Essay on Education Management Job Requirements

        The field of education management or also known as educational management is usually defined as management job positions for educators or education professionals in administrator or managerial level positions in organisations or institutions involved in education such as education agencies in the national, state and local government levels, schools, non-government organisations involved in education policy making, and other organisations involved in education issues and concerns.

        As a second year university student taking up a bachelor's degree in education and planning to be a licensed teacher when I graduate, the education essay writing topic on education management that I selected could not have been more relevant because when I become a licensed teacher, I am also planning to aspire for higher administrative or executive level positions when I am given the chance to work in an organisation or institution that is besides a school. So I decided that my essay on educational management would focus on the theme of the education and professional requirements for educators who want to work in administrative and management level positions.

        In my education management essay, I stated that the four-year bachelor's degree in education and a teaching license are enough for entry-level administrative positions in state-funded preschool and kindergarten schools. But administrative positions in state-funded primary and secondary schools would require postgraduate or master's degrees. For administrative and executive level positions in government agencies involved in education, the requirements would usually be stricter such as having master's or doctoral degrees, extensive experience in lower level administrative positions, and additional training or professional certifications from accredited professional organisations.

        Another career approach in educational management is working in universities and colleges where there are additional requirements. A university or college would require master's or doctorate degrees, professional training or certifications, and the individual should preferably have worked as a professor or lecturer in the educational institution where is applying for an administrative position.
