Studying the experience of European countries is caused by their theoretical and practical achievements in this sphere of activity and is cognitive for the development of the state-public system of education administration.

In most countries of the world, education is managed at three levels: central, regional, local. Central level dominates in such European countries as Greece, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, France and others. In countries with federal governments (Germany, the United States, Canada, Switzerland, etc.), education is governed by federal entities, which, by the way, are central level, and there are no federal one in some countries at all. Public administration examples are presented in Denmark, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, Slovakia, Turkey, Finland and other countries.
