Abstract
This chapter investigates the FATIH Project in terms of educational administration and management processes. An extended literature review is conducted on how decision makers and administrators contribute the diffusion of FATIH Project and evoke necessary changes to transform education in classroom discourse and pedagogy. The outcomes of FATIH Project is still little understood because of its massive size and long-term feedback. The management processes of FATIH Project needs to be analyzed in the context of planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating, controlling, monitoring, reporting, and communication. In order to implement successfully five dimensions of FATIH Project (accessibility, productivity, equality of opportunity, measurability, quality), it is important to investigate administrational and leadership issues, especially when critical decisions are made.
