Summary/Abstract: At least since Aristotle, logic and science, in general, have been trying to get rid of paradoxes, dilemmas and contradictions. On the other hand, from the dawn of life science have comprised those elements. Imponderables are many. We all have been thinking of the well-known dilemma of chicken and egg. Which came first? We also know the liar’s paradox: “I confess that I always lie”. Does the liar now speak the truth or not? Mapping strategic dilemmas was the main aim of the research, with the key research question being: What are the most important strategic dilemmas facing the educational administration? The intention of the study was to highlight, from the educational administration’s point of view, the importance of identifying the essential strategic perspectives, which should subsequently be integrated, in order to focus on the learning and teaching taking place in public schools.
