Transformation of Educational
Administration – New Rroles for
Educational Administrators
Annual Conference of the German Society for
Educational Administration (DG BV), 18th to
20th September 2008 in Dresden/Saxony
Recent reforms at all levels of the education
systems in Germany have had a major impact on
educational administration. New organisations – e.g.
school inspections, institutes for quality assurance,
accreditation agencies – were created, and longestablished
structures continue to experience
considerable changes of their functions. What are
the consequences for those who work in educational
administration?
The Annual Conference 2008 of the DG BV will
discuss this question from a variety of perspectives,
including educational policy, economy, management
consultancy. In addition, it will – in workshops devoted
to specific areas of educational administration – give
room for those who are confronted with the challenges
of the new roles. Keynote speakers include Dr Ralph
Stegner (Kiel), former Minister of the Interior of the
Land Schleswig-Holstein, and Drs Bob van de Ven
(Poeldijk, The Netherlands), Honorary Secretary of the
European Forum for Educational Administration.
