Dear Educators, Researchers, and Academicians,

We are delighted to invite you to the 18th International Congress on Educational Administration (ICEA2025). This year’s main theme is “Graduate Programs in Educational Administration in Turkey: Situation Analysis and Future Projections.” ICEA2025 aims to analyze the current state of graduate programs in educational administration, discuss key issues faced, and make future projections.

Recent developments—such as changes in the Ministry of National Education’s criteria for appointing administrators, discussions regarding the National Education Academy, the status of pedagogical formation programs, and the future of Faculties of Education—directly impact the field of educational administration. Additionally, global dynamics, including the professionalization of school management, migration, artificial intelligence, and economic recessions, necessitate a reevaluation of graduate programs in educational administration.
