School leaders are crucial for the success of any school. This makes the training of school leaders imperative.

Overview

From the foregoing, the School Leadership Development (SLD) programme, an initiative of APEN (Association of Private Educators of Nigeria) in collaboration with Enterprise Development Centre (EDC) of the Pan-Atlantic University, is designed to address the challenges that school owners face in assigning leadership and management responsibilities to indigenous school leaders. These challenges stems from the personal and skill gaps on the part of the school leaders which inhibit their ability to fit properly into these roles. The SLD has been strategically structured to help build and enhance the capacity of Nigerian school leaders, to make them appealing prospects for their respective schools, and equip them with the right blend of instructional and managerial tools to upscale the approach and quality of learning in their schools, which will in turn, impact positively on the Nigerian Education sector.
