Course overview

What Is Leadership in Education Administration?

Leadership in education administration means running a school, college or education programme in a way that lifts the quality of teaching and helps every learner succeed. The course draws on educational leadership theory and covers curriculum design, assessment, teacher development, policy and governance, planning with limited resources, and how to bring staff, families and communities behind shared learning goals.

Interactive discussions, case studies and practical exercises let participants plan a curriculum, give feedback on lessons and draft an improvement plan for institutions like those education leaders in Eritrea run.

Educational administrators, aspiring principals, department heads, curriculum coordinators and teacher leaders in Eritrea work through the everyday questions of running a school or college: how to plan the curriculum, use data on learners’ progress, keep to policy and spend limited funds transparently. Inclusive learning and equal opportunities for every student run through the course.

Why it matters

Why Education Leadership Matters in Eritrea

Eritrea is working towards educational excellence and equitable access to quality education. Reaching those aims depends on administrators who plan carefully, support their teachers and make sure every learner has a fair chance to succeed.

  • Learning comes first

    Decisions made in the principal’s office reach every classroom and shape what learners take away.

  • Teachers need support

    Teachers who feel supported keep improving and stay in the profession.

  • Resources are limited

    Careful planning makes staff, timetables and buildings go further for learners.

  • Communities count

    Schools that work with parents serve learners in Eritrea more fully.

The Knowles leadership approach

From Insight to Impact

Participants follow a six-step cycle, from agreeing what learners should achieve to improving results year after year, which works for a single department, a whole school or a wider education programme.

Education leadership in action

  1. 1. VisionWhat should learners achieve?
  2. 2. TeachIs teaching effective?
  3. 3. AssessHow do we know they learn?
  4. 4. DevelopHow do teachers grow?
  5. 5. EngageAre families involved?
  6. 6. ImproveWhat will we do better?
