Development-education interaction can be seen clearly in development plans. This study aims at making inferences about educational administration from the educational sections of the development plans in Turkey since 1963. This study was carried out with a qualitative research method. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis approach. In this study, 11 development plans prepared since 1963 in Turkey were analyzed in terms of educational administration. Special expert commission reports prepared for development plans are included in the analysis. It was seen that the following points come to the fore in the context of educational administration: MoNE-based organization should be reviewed. The administrative processes should be implemented more effectively. Educational administration-environment interaction should increasingly be maintained. Arrangements should be made for the development and duties of educational administrators. For researchers, it can be recommended to conduct studies with different methods and studies on the problems between planning and implementation related to educational administration. For practitioners, it can be recommended to include educational administration experts in the planning process more and effectively, and include them in education plans more.
