Effective leadership is vital for school improvement

Outstanding leadership has invariably emerged as a key characteristic of

outstanding schools. There can no longer be doubt that those seeking quality in

education must ensure its presence and that the development of potential leaders

must be given high priority. (1992:99, emphasis added)



Effective leadership is a key to both continuous improvement and major

system transformation.Harris (2004:11) ‘effective leaders exercise an indirect but powerful

influence on the effectiveness of the school and on the achievement of

students’



An educated workforce is vital to maintain and

enhance competitiveness
