Educational leadership embodies the work of school administrators. Typical responsibilities often include curriculum and program planning, the creation of educational policies, support for teachers and guidance for the success of students. These professionals might be responsible to promote test score improvement or bring about educational reform. 

The Doctor of Education degree builds on the knowledge gained in undergraduate and master’s programs. Educators seeking to further their careers in positions with more responsibility may pursue this advanced degree.

Part-time learning allows one to obtain a degree or qualification even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at one's own pace, gradually accumulating credits that count towards a final qualification.
