The aim of this study is to evaluate the special purposes of the compulsory lessons in the curriculum in the context of cultural administration in education, according to the views of secondary school administrators. The study was designed in a phenomenological design, one of the qualitative research methods. 20 secondary school administrators working in Manisa Salihli in 2021-2022 participated in the study. While choosing the sample group, criterion sampling and easily accessible sampling method were chosen from purposive sampling methods. A semi- structured interview form developed by the researchers was used to collect the data. The data were analyzed by descriptive analysis and content analysis method. According to the findings, it was seen that although school administrators have knowledge about curricula, they expressed similar views on what should be included in the curricula in the context of cultural administration. According to the results of the research, it can be said that school administrators do not have an active role in terms of whether the cultural administration of the compulsory lesson programs of their institutions is carried out effectively or not, due to the busyness of daily tasks, official works and transactions occupy most of their time at school. There is a need for studies to improve the curriculum literacy of school principals. It is thought that this study will set an example for researchers in terms of combining educational administration with educational programs and teaching disciplines.
