ABSTRACT

This qualitative study provided the perspectives of school principals on leading Outstanding Schools in Qatar. The opportunities for establishing a private school in a foreign country are endless, given the increase in the expatriate population and the waiting lists for students to enroll in the existing schools. This study revealed some of the challenges that current leaders of outstanding school are facing due to changes in leadership and organizational structures, as well as to unexpected operational changes that were not part of the initial memoranda of agreement. This study paves the way for scholars, practitioners, and policy makers to support similar initiatives.

摘要

这项定性研究提供了校长对卡塔尔领先的杰出学校的看法。考虑到外籍人口的增加和学生在现有学校入学的候补名单，在国外建立私立学校的机会是无穷无尽的。这项研究揭示了杰出学校的现任领导者由于领导层和组织结构的变化以及初始协议备忘录中未包含的意外运营变化而面临的一些挑战。这项研究为学者、从业者和政策制定者支持类似举措铺平了道路。
