Women Have No Name in Turkish Educational Administration

Even in developed countries where gender inequality is much less, it is observed that women do not / cannot take up managerial positions as much as men. While the gender of the administration should not exist, in practice, men are far ahead in management positions. Although there are no legal obstacles, the fact that women are underrepresented at the administrative levels in the Ministry of National Education was the starting point of the study. The research was prepared as a review and the literature on the subject was examined. The process of involving women in educational administration and the women who pioneered the process were mentioned. The number of women working in the administrative levels of the Ministry of National Education was investigated, the reasons for not being represented at the administrative levels and the effects of these reasons were included. During the research process, concepts of gender inequality, glass ceiling syndrome, queen bee syndrome and pink harassment expressed as mobbing applied by women to women were encountered. Although it is concluded with the research that it is possible for women to become managers despite all obstacles; it has been found that they are not very demanding in this regard. It was concluded that women's rights, which are guaranteed by legal regulations, are incomplete in practice.
