Philippine Women Leaders’ Presence, Practices, and Challenges in Higher Education in the New Normal

Discipline: Teacher Training

 

Abstract:

The Covid-19 pandemic confronted the educational system by surprise and compelled school leaders to enforce decisive institutional policies and changes to maintain community cohesion and students’ learning and well-being without the benefits of physical classrooms and campuses. The new normal calls for greater women leadership participation in educational institutions. This paper then expounds and draws attention on themes such as women’s presence in school administration, barriers that limit women leadership advancement and participation, women leaders’ qualities and practices, and challenges faced as leaders in the new normal educational milieus. A focused review of ideas and perspectives about women leadership and an integrative presentation of relevant data from literature were utilized.
