There are three main types of education administration: preschool, elementary/secondary school, and college/university. Preschool administration typically involves a single director who oversees the curriculum, finances, and staffing. Elementary/secondary school administration is led by a principal who represents the school and supports student achievement. College/university administration has a larger scope and is headed by a president and governing body who manage finances, projects, and academic programs. Specific roles include department deans and administrators who ensure policies are implemented.
