This report is a review of the empirical research done on school leadership in the Global South. The questions it seeks to address are:

  • Is strong school leadership important for improving student outcomes in the Global South?

  • What is the current status of school leaders in education systems?

  • What do we know about how to improve school leadership quality?

Impact Report 2019

We gathered and analyzed information from our partner organizations’ programs in India, Indonesia, Kenya and Malaysia regarding their impact on school leaders, teachers and students, and captured their learnings about effective professional development for school leaders.  This is preliminary research, and there is a long way to go in establishing an expansive knowledge base on this issue. Our hope is that this report sparks a conversation within the education community about investing in school leaders.
