As the only report from the Chinese context, it outlines the professional practices and development trajectories of school leaders in China, the world's largest education system. The report also provides an overview of how Chinese school leaders positively impact the quality and equity of education. In addition to issues of general interest, such as school leadership practice, selection, preparation, and development in the Mainland, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR, the report also sheds light on the active role of the female school leaders and career opportunities they're faced with. Overall, the report depicts a comprehensive and vivid landscape of school leadership in China for the world to see.
The report, School Leadership in China: Policies and Practices, adequately speaks to the scholarly impact of education research in China. These research findings considerably contribute to global education governance, making China's voice heard in influential global reports.
