Master of Education in Education Leadership

Why this programme exists

Education institutions in the region are led overwhelmingly by people promoted for teaching excellence and never trained to lead, and the quality of an institution rarely rises above the quality of its leadership. This Master of Education in Education Leadership is a taught, project heavy conversion for teachers, heads and education professionals moving into leadership, built around the real work of leading an institution: evidence, people, finance, and the design of learning and its improvement in an age of intelligent systems. It terminates in a major applied leadership project inside a real institution, weighted toward a delivered improvement rather than a dissertation.
