Our concerns are research and development of education policy, educational administration, educational finance, politics of education, and school management. We also aim to train researchers who can conduct policy planning and evaluation, administration and finance system reform, and management, and supervision, as well as public officials in leader positions (education administration officials, school administrators, teacher consultants, and others). The Division was created in 2006 after reorganization of the former Division of Education Administration. The interdisciplinary nature of the field has resulted in much active collaboration and cooperation with other research fields and institutions.
