The focus of educational administration is the enhancement of teaching and learning. We can define educational administration as a process through which the school administrators arrange and co-ordinate their sources available to education, for the purpose of achieving the goals of the educational system

The current study was conducted to assess the effect of consumption of Moringa infusion on metabolic markers directly related to the aetiology and development of non- communicable diseases in humans, focusing on its plasma lipid-lowering effect.
Methodology: A randomised clinical trial design was conducted with 167 human subjects randomly divided into 2 groups. Only 125 participants completed the study (73 in the experimental group and 52 in the control group). The experimental group were given Moringa oleifera tea bags and requested to consume two tea bags twice daily (8g) while the control group consumed 200ml of warm water twice daily. The two groups were monitored for a period of 29 days. Blood samples for blood lipids (total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol), fasting blood glucose, serum uric acid, liver enzymes (Gamma Glutamyl transferase (GGT), Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT), Serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT)), blood pressure, anthropometric measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) were taken at baseline and then on day 15 and day 29. Socio-demographic details, medical history, food frequency questionnaire, and physical activity questionnaire were also recorded.
Results: No statistically significant effect of Moringa oleifera on lipid profile (LDLcholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol and triglycerides), serum uric acid and liver enzymes and anthropometric measurements was recorded in this study (p>0.05) at 95% confidence interval. . However, a decrease of 0.12mmol/l in triglyceride, 0.03mmol/l in LDL-cholesterol and an increase of 0.06 mmol/l in HDL were observed among female participants who were taking Moringa. A decreasing trend in BP (mean of 2.15mmHg in systolic blood pressure and 1.43mmHg in diastolic blood pressure) was noted in the experimental group and a higher decrease in diastolic blood pressure as compared to systolic blood pressure was noted among hypertensive participants of the experimental group. A mean decrease of 1.03cm in the waist circumference was noted in case group, with a 1% decrease observed among participants with large waist circumference at baseline.
Conclusion: Moringa Oleifera did not show any statistically significant effect on the health bio markers
