The power of principalship

It is a position that can easily attract more critics and naysayers than disciples. Drafting a vision and selling it and seeking a buy in especially in an environment where accountability has gone out of the window, is no picnic. School leadership is about effecting change and ensuring that learners are subjected to a robust classroom instructional regimen that maximises opportunities for success.

No school leader accepts the position of authority with the intention to perpetuate a status quo that does not aid learners to quickly move into proficiency and excellence. Bringing about positive changes may not be a peaceful and seamless affair.
