relation to others”.

EXECUTIVE POSITION is referring to educational administrators as they


are located in certain positions of authority in the administrative levels of
the educational organization. These levels are commonly known as top,
middle, lower administrative levels. They should be treated as a network of
tiers whose occupants play interrelated roles.

the art, act or manner of managing or handling, controlling and directing
educational processes.

When the roles of educational administrators are translated into


functions and are exercised through a process ( a particular method of doing
something involving a number of steps to achieve a particular purpose).
Management in educational administration relates to an act in a
process, as opposed to the executive position in or to the group of managers
in the top, middle, and lower administrative hierarchy.

trust”.

The educational system is in itself a public concern. Whether public or

end-user of educational services.

Two dictionary meanings of the term “Public”.


a. refers to the people as a whole or the community at large;
