Abstract
The article entitled “Strategies for the Management of an Excellent Educational Institution” aims to propose a conceptual framework and key strategies for enhancing the quality of educational institution management in order to achieve systemic excellence. The article emphasizes the role of school administrators as change leaders who are required to demonstrate competencies in strategic vision formulation, effective goal communication, motivation enhancement, the cultivation of a learning-oriented organizational culture, and the continuous development of personnel and learners. The main content of the article consists of: 1) concepts and theories of strategic management relevant to education; 2) concepts and models for developing educational institutions toward excellence; and 3) the application of the Office of the Basic Education Commission Quality Award (OBECQA) criteria across key dimensions, including leadership, strategy, learners and stakeholders, measurement, analysis, knowledge management, human resources, and operational processes. The synthesis indicates that educational excellence requires evidence-based management, standardized evaluation systems, context-responsive strategic design, and the systematic participation of all stakeholders within educational institutions.
This article contributes to the development of policy-oriented perspectives and practical guidelines for educational institution management applicable to the Thai educational context.
