ABSTRACT

This study offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of educational management systems across the globe, focusing on governance structures, policy implementation, and evolving challenges in various national contexts. Through a historical and contemporary lens, it explores how countries like the United States, Finland, Singapore, South Africa, and Brazil navigate centralized and decentralized models, resource allocation, and technology integration. By examining localized practices alongside global trends, the research identifies best practices and areas of persistent inequality. It emphasizes the influence of socio-economic conditions, cultural values, and political agendas on educational policy and administration. The study highlights the importance of adaptive strategies, inclusive leadership, and international collaboration in addressing modern educational challenges. Ultimately, it underscores the value of cross-national learning to inform more equitable, effective, and innovative educational management worldwide.
