Technical brief #11: School Leadership for Equitable Quality Education

Successful school leaders play an indispensable role in ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning opportunities for all. Their schools equip all learners with the capabilities to become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful and democratic societies as well as enhance individual well-being.

As a partner for Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), a key component of VVOB’s approach is to strengthen school leadership to improve teaching and learning. VVOB’s Learning Unlimited. strategy confirms our continued support for school leadership development in our partner countries across three continents. This technical brief gives a background on the evidence-based foundations of VVOB’s approach to promoting effective school leadership and exemplifies this in our work in Ecuador, Ghana, Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, Vietnam and Zambia.
