Education: The People on the Background

Education is defined as the formal process of learning. It is the process of imparting certain knowledge and skills as well as values in a formal setting. The skills, knowledge and values learned by students are their tickets to their future. The way they shape their futures rests on how they pursue education.

Working on the background are people or groups of people who manage the education process. Education management is their forte, which means their expertise lies on making sure that students get educated on the best possible way.

The academe is not only made up of students and teachers. There are other people who are involved in education process. While it is up to teachers on how to impart knowledge and skills to their students, it up to people in charge of education management to decide on matters that makes the teaching faculty more effective in expediting the education process.

For instance, managing the school’s finances should not be left onto the hands of teachers. Teachers are already occupied with the tutoring work, and asking them to handle the financial matters of the school would be too burdening for them. But if the school has a component that allows such management out of the hands of teachers, things would be much easier. The same is true when deciding for other academic matters like building administration, property management and school maintenance.

Managing education is a complicated process. When students clamour for improvements and developments in their respective universities and colleges, education managers should be there to address them. Academic life is much easier and productive if everyone fulfils their roles accordingly.

Education management is never a one-way ticket. Its success lies on the feedback and actions taken by all the parties involved. Denial of such involvement could mean failure.
