The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has impacted the world both economically and socially which is making the world clock stop spinning and the biological clock changing causing humans to modify many behaviors. To keep yourself and those around you in good health and safe from infections and stabilize the life clock balance again, Thailand for example, has adapted and changed the context of various educational institutions to cope with the epidemic situation of the COVID-19. Educational administrators can therefore be regarded as an important facilitator in driving Education to get through this crisis. To achieve this, learners and teachers must be focus on safety as the main condition of being protected, educational administrators must adapt to the technology and be able to use it in school management and coordinate the community in a timely manner. The administrators of the educational institutions must also have competencies that are in line with the changing context in order to develop the organization towards excellence with efficiency and effectiveness. The competencies that executives should have in the era of global disease are as follows: 1) Communication competence 2) Change management competence 3) Strategic planning competence 4) Decision making competence and 5) Adaptability and flexibility competence. In addition to management under the competence that has already existed, they must also manage with morality and ethics together. However, when the educational administrators have appropriate competencies for the development of educational institutions with morals and ethics, the executives must apply the skills they have to develop teacher’s competencies to create efficiency and effectiveness for learners in the era of world-changing disease.
