ABSTRACT
This study explores the theoretical foundations of educational administration and its relationship with leadership approaches applied to the development of public projects within the educational sector. The analysis begins with the recognition that institutional transformations in public contexts require effective coordination between administrative management processes and leadership practices oriented toward organizational change. In this framework, key concepts are examined that define educational administration as a technical, organizational, and political process enabling the planning, implementation, and control of projects in complex institutional environments. In parallel, leadership approaches particularly transformational leadership are addressed as dimensions that influence institutional vision, organizational cohesion, and human resource mobilization. The study develops a critical and theoretical approach to understanding how these elements interact in the design and execution of public projects, where decisions must align with educational system regulations and social demands. The articulation between educational administration and leadership contributes not only to the achievement of institutional goals but also to the formation of new ways of understanding public management in educational settings. This reflection establishes a conceptual framework that allows for a deeper analysis of the structural conditions, organizational dynamics, and institutional capacities required for the successful implementation of public initiatives in the educational domain.
Keywords: educational administration, transformational leadership, public management, educational projects, institutional leadership.
