Leadership in education
The 2024/5 GEM Report examines the requirements of good leadership in education and how they vary between countries and over time.
Leadership is at the heart of quality education. There is a growing belief that educational leadership is the second most important factor, after teachers, explaining learning outcomes. Leaders at multiple levels matter, from those within the school, to those outside of the school such as middle managers, and including those outside of education systems in government, or those working on legislature and oversight.
