This paper aims at analizing the interdisciplinary association between administration and education under the assumption that freedom and liberty are essential to political, social and human development. This association can only exist if managers and educators accept freedom and liberty in their daily practices. Such a conclusion has been arrived at by reviewing the literature produced by authors who have emphasized freedom and liberty as inerent values to human beings. A model based on freedom and liberty was built both for administrators and educators. Data were collected from interviews with students in courses taught by the authors and by department heads in the municipal education agency in Rio de Janeiro. The main conclusion is that the association between administration and education goes beyond simple common missions and objectives. Due to the fact that freedom and liberty are essential to development in both fields, administration and education are really integrated and unassociated.
