It is very essential to understand “Administration & Administrator”


before knowing roles of an administrator. A common definition for
administration is given below:

“Administration involves planning, organizing, directing &


controlling human & material resources.”

Sometimes, administration & management are used for same


meaning, & commonly both are interrelated, so there is no much difference
between both. Let’s look at the management as well:

“POSD-CORB” is a term used to define management & full form of this


term is as under:

P = Planning

O = Organizing

S = Secrecy

D = Direction

Co = Coordination

R = Reporting

B = Budgetary

Now, we have a little bit know how about administration, so let’s


move towards administrators.

“Administrators are persons involved in planning, organizing,
directing & controlling human & material resources to accomplish
predetermined objective.”

Administrators in Education Sector:

Head Master(HM)/Principal: monitors a school/college and particular area.

Taluka Education Officer(TEO): monitors a particular taluka (region).

District Education Officer(DEO): monitors a particular district.

Director of Education: monitors & supervises a particular division.

Role of administrators in Educational Planning

Administrator is supposed to perform the expected functions &


behaviors to achieve an objective.

Each & every function, behavior & reaction of administrator is involved in


educational planning, because whole development phase is based on
planning and planning won’t take place without participation of
administrator.

Although, administrators’ role is to monitor basically, but there might


be many other roles of an administrator and only two are given bellow:

PC-1: Work Plan- Administrator must prepare a plan (pattern) for


work that what to do? How to do? Who to do? & so on.

PC-2: Feasibility- Administrator must have a critic eye and he should


initially, analyze causes for any activity and then report for it.

Then the planners will analyze his (administrator’s) report, find the
facts and finally the planning will take place.
