Abstract

This paper reviews the paths through which school heads’ transformational leadership influence students’ outcomes in public secondary schools in Kuwait. The standard of academic achievement in Kuwait’s public schools has been declining over the years, which merits consideration of private sector’s business models to the public education sector, in order to transform the sector, and improve the public schools’ outcomes. Transformational leadership, if adopted by school heads is thus considered to influence students’ outcomes. The paper contributes to our understanding of the role of transformational leadership and its influence on staff and students’ achievement, from a developing country’s context-Kuwait. In particular, the paper examines the paths through which school heads’ transformational leadership style impacts on students’ outcomes.
