Educational Leadership and Management in Higher Secondary Schools: Developing Insight and Skills

Susheela Subba

Abstract: Bhutan's educational system is dealing with a number of difficulties. Some of these issues have to do with educational quality, while others have to do with school administration, particularly in terms of leadership development and training programs. In order to overcome these obstacles, the Ministry of Education has developed a long-term plan to restructure the educational system, with a focus on the schools. The burden on school administrators is increasing by these issues. As a result, the caliber of school principals is crucial to these reforms; they must be able to guide the schools through the transformation process. Due to its importance in schools and subsequently in our lives, educational leadership is a topic that receives a lot of attention worldwide. The knowledge and abilities required for effective principals are examined in this study from the perspectives of policymakers and principals working in schools. The National Professional Standards for School Leaders already include the knowledge and skills required of principals, according to interviews with 20 principals and vice principals working under Samtse Dzongkhag, but participants expressed concern about how well these are applied by principals in Bhutanese schools. More significantly, the vast majority of participants agreed that administrators must acquire leadership knowledge and skills in order to deal with a variety of professors, students, and parents.
