The Need for Structural and Functional Reform of Local Education Administration Authorities

Abstract

The relatively low public perception of the education sector and the teaching profession, together with the lack of tangible outcomes and significant progress in curriculum implementation and student development, can be attributed to several interrelated factors. These include the absence of an adequate legal framework for local professional education organizations; the lack of a systematic mechanism for the training and professional development of educational administrators; limited capacity among educational administrators in research and analytical activities; insufficient coordination and collaboration among educational institutions; and shortcomings in the educational assessment system. In particular, the legal framework, functions, and human resource capacity of local education departments do not adequately correspond to the current needs and requirements of educational development.
Against this background, there is an urgent need to establish local professional and methodological education organizations that are aligned with international trends in educational development, ongoing national education policy reforms, and emerging requirements for improving the quality and competitiveness of education.
 Furthermore, there is a need to establish an integrated national system of professional educational management that ensures the effective implementation of human resource management functions while simultaneously developing comprehensive systems for professional training, research, and methodological support.
