Education Manager

An Education Manager oversees the planning, development, and implementation of educational programmes within an institution. You might work in schools, universities, or training organisations. Education Managers focus on curriculum development, staff training, and quality assurance. You’ll ensure that educational standards are met and that programmes align with institutional goals.

Education Managers play a crucial role in enhancing educational quality and outcomes. You’ll need strong leadership skills, attention to detail, and the ability to communicate effectively with educators and students. You’ll liaise with various stakeholders to ensure that educational initiatives are successfully implemented and that staff and students receive the support they need.
