Abstract
This paper examines the main coordinates of educational management in the context of the institutional transformations affecting pre-university education in Giurgiu County, Romania.
The study is based on qualitative documentary analysis of the current Romanian legal framework, OECD and UNESCO policy documents, county statistical publications and public managerial documents issued by the Giurgiu County School Inspectorate.
The analysis shows that educational management in Giurgiu County is currently structured around five interrelated coordinates: regulatory alignment, pedagogical leadership, participatory governance, territorial adaptation and evidence-informed organisational resilience.
The county context is relevant because official data indicate a predominantly rural profile and a school network that requires differentiated managerial responses.
The paper concludes that effective school leadership depends not only on compliance with reform, but also on the capacity to translate new regulations into coherent institutional practice, collaborative decision-making and context-sensitive school improvement.
