Education, Leadership and Islam

Educational institutions are undergoing complex and sensitive changes in the context of immigration, international mobility, globalisation, and shifting economic scenarios, making highly challenging demands on educational leaders. Leadership is increasingly being perceived and theorised as pivotal to students¿ achievement and institutional performance. In this book, Saeeda Shah considers educational leadership from an Islamic perspective, examining the role of education and educational leadership to debate theoretical positions underpinned by Islamic texts and teachings, and the resulting conceptualisations and interpretations.
