Educational management involves planning, organizing, directing, and controlling educational institutions using human and material resources to effectively accomplish teaching, extension work, and research. It focuses on theories of management science, educational planning, decision making, communication, budgeting, and developing relationships. Supervision aims to improve instruction by supporting teachers and ensuring continuous evaluation, new techniques, self-development, and acquiring knowledge. It differs from administration which manages infrastructure, finances, and day-to-day operations rather than instructional processes.
