The Role of Administrative Innovation in the Development of a Public Education Strategy (Education for a New Era) in the State of Qatar from the Perspective of the Employees at the Supreme Education Council

Abstract

This research aimed to acknowledge the role of administrative innovation

in the development of the general education strategy (Education for a New Era)

in the state of Qatar, which is carried out by the Supreme Education Council

– the highest authority responsible for the education sector. Accordingly, the

research is important because it reveals the different aspects affecting the

innovation process viewed by different employees in this sector. Moreover,

the research is important because it determines the value of administrative

innovation and its role in developing the sector as a whole; and how it is used

to overcome the current obstacles that hinder the achievement of the desired

results effectively and efficiently.

Therefore, the researcher assumed that there is a statistical relation

among different employees in viewing the positive and negative aspects of the

role of administrative innovation in the general education initiative according

to their personal and occupational differences. Based on this, the researcher

used the descriptive analytical methodology through a social survey approach

to obtain the results.

The most significant results obtained from this research proved that

administrative innovation exists to a certain extent in the Supreme Education

Council in the state of Qatar. However, there are different ways to increase

the role of administrative innovation in the council such as strategic planning

that emphasizes the vision, and mission.

The researcher recommended that we need human resource development

and focus on the preparation of administrative leaders at the level of the

Supreme Education Council in general and independent schools in particular,

and to promote the importance of creativity by creating the appropriate

regulatory environment which contributes to the development of individual

performance and developing creative abilities and tendencies by strengthening

their participation in decision- making.
