Educational management is the process of directing and managing educational institutions, in order to improve the quality of the educational service they offer to society. Educational management involves the development of managerial skills, such as leadership, decision making and teamwork, as well as the use of innovative and participatory methodologies. Educational management must also take into account diversity and inclusion, as pedagogical principles and social values, which facilitate meaningful and relevant learning for students. Educational management faces various challenges in the 21st century, such as globalization, technology, public and social policies, and the culture of ignorance. The culture of ignorance refers to the phenomenon of ignoring or devaluing the knowledge generated by others, especially by local or indigenous communities. The culture of ignorance can negatively affect the educational process by limiting sources of information, critical perspectives, and learning opportunities. Educational management must promote a culture of knowledge that recognizes and values the diversity of knowledge, that encourages exchange and collaboration between educational actors, and that promotes the generation of new knowledge relevant to sustainable development.
