EDUCATION MANAGEMENT UNDER THE GLOBAL BACKGROUND: CHALLENGES AND STRATEGIES

Liyao Chen

Abstract


Education management under global background is a complex and rapidly evolving field, characterized by new challenges and opportunities. The rise of globalization has led to greater mobility among students and teachers, as well as the integration of technology in education. As a result, educational institutions are expected to be more diverse, inclusive and technologically advanced while balancing tight budgets with rising expectations for quality programs. Effective education management in this context requires proactive leadership skills that can effectively respond to these evolving challenges whilst balancing competing demands such as limited resources with rising expectations on performance outcomes within ever-changing regulatory landscapes around the world. The successful implementation of education management strategies must incorporate innovative approaches tailored specifically towards local contexts so that cultural differences are respected and leveraged upon where applicable.
