A total of 32 school leaders including DEOs, TEOs, principals, vice-principals and offtg. principals completed the 11th batch of the School Leaders Development Programme held from May 25-31 at the Royal Institute for Governance and Strategic Studies (RIGSS).
The programme was designed to strengthen the instructional leadership capabilities of participants by equipping them with key skills to build high-performing teams, cultivate positive school cultures and address emerging challenges in the education sector.
Various sessions on leadership principles, effective communication, AI, mentoring and coaching, organisational culture, well-being, school climate and professionalism were covered during the course. Participants also engaged in case studies and a policy hackathon, among other activities.
The programme concluded with a session on ‘Leadership in Education’ delivered by the Director of the Department of School Education (DSE) who also presented certificates to the participants.
Jointly organised by DSE and RIGSS, the course aims to inspire school leaders to drive meaningful change and develop 21st-century skills among students and educators by enhancing leadership competencies.
