Abstract: The educational administrative mode involves the issues of who should be the main subject, which way should be adopted, and what educational affairs need to be addressed. The study finds that in traditional educational administration, the government tends to be the single subject, with the top-down management of the total factor and processes of education. Educational modernization calls for innovation in educational administrative modes, and shared governance should be the direction of the transformation of educational administrative modes. There are three factors that affect the transformation of educational administrative modes:multi-layered administrative contracts which have caused deviated targets in educational administration; non-cooperation among different departments which restricts the educational administrative performance; lack of affiliation and identity in educational participation which limits participant enthusiasm of multi-subjects. To transform the traditional mode of educational administration and better serve education development, we need to expand the consultation and cooperation to ensure the participation of multiple subjects in the basic educational administration from the four aspects of concept establishment, rule-making, organization cultivation and system guarantee.

Key words: education governance, educational administration mode, shared governance, transformation
