This research aims to study 1) the skills of school administrators in the 21st century, 2) learning management of teachers in educational institutions, 3) the relationship between the skills of school administrators in the 21st century and learning management and knowledge of teachers in educational institutions, and 4) skills of educational administrators in the 21st century that affect the learning management of teachers. The sample group used in the research included 327 teachers in educational institutions under the Khon Kaen Primary Educational Service Area Office, Area 5, which was determined by the G*Power program. Then, a random sample was drawn by dividing the sample size according to the proportion of the teacher population in each district under the Khon Kaen Primary Educational Service Area Office, Area 5. The research tool was a questionnaire. Statistics used in data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation. A stepwise multiple regression analysis was employed to examine the relationship between the study variables. The research results demonstrated that 1) the vision skills was ranked the highest among the skills of school administrators, followed by creative skills, human relations skills, communication skills, and technology and digital skills, respectively; 2) teachers' use of media was ranked as the highest among teachers’ skills in learning management, followed by organizing learning activities focusing on important learners, measurement and evaluation, setting learning management objectives, and using the curriculum in learning management, respectively; 3) the skills of school administrators in the 21st century were positively related to teachers' learning management in educational institutions at the .01 level, with correlation coefficients ranging from moderate to quite high; and 4) the skills of school administrators in the 21st century that affected teachers' learning management in educational institutions consisted of 4 dimensions: creative skills, communication skills, technological and digital skills, and human relations skills.
