| Abstract: |
Educational leadership in last-mile schools requires navigating persistent geographic, social, and economic challenges. While school heads play a crucial role in sustaining education in these contexts, their leadership practices remain largely underexplored. The study explored the leadership practices employed by school heads, the challenges they encountered, and the coping strategies they used to manage and sustain school operations in last-mile schools. This qualitative study employed Merriam’s single-case study approach, purposively selecting ten school heads from last-mile schools. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, supported by triangulated insights from teachers, parents, and district supervisors. Findings revealed that school heads practiced collaborative and reflective decision-making, data-informed classroom supervision, and context-based teacher mentoring. They fostered student-centered and culturally responsive learning, actively engaged communities, and promoted transparent resource management. Participants faced challenges, including geographic isolation, resource scarcity, and socio-cultural barriers, which disrupted operations and strained leadership. To cope, they relied on personal resilience, social and spiritual support, and stress-relief practices. It was concluded that school heads in last-mile schools demonstrated adaptive leadership by adopting diverse roles to maintain educational delivery despite severe constraints. It was recommended that leadership development programs and institutional support systems be enhanced to empower school heads in last-mile schools. |
