The National Academy for Educational Management (NAEM) is an apex institution in the fields of education, administration, management, planning and research in Bangladesh. It was established in 1959 as Education Extension Center responsible primarily for pedagogic in-service training of secondary school teachers. The center underwent several roles and structural transformations during the last four decades to meet the changing needs of time and the system of education in the country.
The metamorphosis of NAEM dates back to 1959 when it was established as Education Extension Center.

The NIEAER once again transform to National Academy for Educational Management (NAEM) for satisfying the needs of quality management of educational institutions in 1992. This transformation also aimed at creating a Centre of Excellence in the areas of educational administration, management, planning and research.
