Abstract

This study examines the impact of enhanced leadership practices on educational excellence in secondary schools in Ghotki District, Sindh, Pakistan. It involves 180 secondary school teachers, 25 head teachers, and 260 students. The aim is to understand the influence of effective leadership practices on academic achievement, and overall school performance. Qualitative and quantitative research methods, including interviews, surveys, and observations, are employed to explore connections between leadership practices and educational outcomes. Factors and strategies employed by effective school leaders that contribute to educational excellence are identified through analysis of perspectives from teachers, head teachers, and students. The study found that enhanced leadership practices have a significant positive effect (β = 0.797, p < .001) on excellence in educational performance. The implications of these findings for educational stakeholders and policymakers contribute to the existing knowledge on leadership's role in achieving educational excellence. This research provides valuable guidance for improving leadership practices in Ghotki District and informs educational policy and professional development initiatives in Hyderabad Sindh, with the ultimate goal of enhancing education quality and creating an optimal learning environment in secondary schools
