"School as the Heart of Formal Education”

The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001, also known as Republic Act (RA) 9155, establishes the
overarching framework for principal empowerment by enhancing principal and leadership objectives as
well as local school-based administration in regard to transparency and local accountability.

It also serves other purposes. The "Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001" was passed during the
assembly, marking the beginning of the state's policy to safeguard and advance every citizen's right to a
high-quality basic education and to provide all Filipino children with a free, compulsory elementary
education and a free high school education.

The goal of basic education is to provide students and learners with skills, knowledge and values to
become caring, self-reliant, productive and patriotic citizens. Governance of basic education begins at
the national level, and schools and learning centers are empowered to make decisions on what is best
for the learners they serve.

A school head must be an instructional leader and administrative manager, forming a team with
teachers/learning facilitators to deliver quality educational programs.

(1) establishing the school's mission, vision, goals, and objectives; (2) developing a learning environment
within the school; (3) putting the school's curriculum into practice and taking responsibility for higher
learning outcomes; (4) creating the school's education program and school improvement plan; and (5)
providing educational initiatives, projects, and services that offer equal opportunities for all students in
the community.

local-related literature

The literature review discusses the need for effective leadership in schools to understand the connection
between powerful school practices and learners' performance. Sinar E. (2018) suggests that too many
organizations are taking a “do it yourself” approach to leadership development, which usually begins and
ends with giving leaders access to a generic self-study resource. Instead, effective leaders want a
personalized experience and the opportunity to learn from internal and external mentors and their
fellow-leaders. There are three types of behaviors that exemplify effective leadership for change:
focusing on building relationships and trust, distributing decision-making, and interrogating the status
quo.
A scientific sampling method was used in choosing the respondents of the study. School leadership is the
action of leading people in an organization towards achieving educational goals. It involves setting a clear
vision for the organization, motivating employees and faculty, guiding them through the work process,
and building morale. In the complex and turbulent field of child welfare, leadership skills are necessary
at all levels of educational institutions. School leaders are answerable for the general administration of
schools and augment open doors for teachers and learners to be effective.

International literature

Accountability procedures are a feature of most education systems, and performance management is
one of several approaches borrowed from the private sectors. It is an example of performativity, where
'individual practitioners organize themselves as a response to targets, indicators, and evaluations.
