19th UNESCO-APEID International Conference
Effective School Leadership for the 21st Century: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals
7-9 November 2018, Bangkok, Thailand
Call for papers
School leaders have an impact on the entire school system. They are expected to lead in achieving the school performance targets, enhance the school's reputation, address a diverse range of administrative and academic concerns, ensure a conducive learning environment, and deal with partners and education authorities. Often serving as the links that connect external development and demands with internal school processes and outcomes, school leaders can be highly stressed and overburdened. With limited resources, they face serious challenges in meeting their school's educational goals.
What does it take to be a successful school leader? How does one prepare for and grow in this role?
Recognizing that school leadership is a priority and school leaders need sustained support to enable them to do their job more effectively, UNESCO Asia and Pacific Regional Bureau for Education in Bangkok, Thailand, is organizing the 19th UNESCO-APEID International Conference, Effective School Leadership for the 21st Century: Meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, to facilitate discussions about school leadership in contributing to the SDGs. Special attention will be given to examples that link theory to practice.
