Abstract

         This article presents school administration strategies for creating educational opportunities, which are crucial for enhancing learning quality and promoting educational equity. Key strategies include establishing a clear vision and mission to align organisational goals, strategic planning with flexibility to adapt to societal changes, efficient resource management to ensure sustainable school operations, and integrating educational technology to expand learning accessibility, particularly for students with limitations. Additionally, this article emphasises the importance of building networks and fostering collaboration between schools, government agencies, private sectors, and communities to support resources and knowledge for educational development. Case studies of successful schools implementing these strategies are also examined. The findings indicate that well-structured and adaptable school administration can reduce educational disparities and enhance learning quality. Therefore, school administration strategies serve as a fundamental mechanism for creating educational opportunities that can be adapted to different contexts, contributing to an efficient, inclusive, and sustainable education system in the long term.
