Abstract | Island school administrators face unique challenges requiring innovative leadership approaches to achieve quality education amidst resource constraints, logistical hurdles, and volatile weather conditions. This study aimed to assess the institutional and management challenges, and performance of school administrators in the tri-divisions of Surigao del Norte: Surigao City, Surigao del Norte, and Siargao Islands. Specifically, it sought to identify the relationship between the administrators’ demographic profiles and their management challenges and to propose a leadership training program tailored for island learning institution administrators. The study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design. Data were gathered from 35 school administrators across the tri-divisions using a structured questionnaire and were analyzed using descriptive statistics, analysis of variance, and regression analysis. Results revealed that logistical barriers, financial resource constraints, and communication challenges significantly impact the administrators' effectiveness. Notable best practices included strong community engagement and innovative problem-solving strategies. The findings showed a positive correlation between administrators' demographic profiles and their ability to navigate institutional challenges, with tenure and educational attainment contributing significantly to management performance. Based on the findings, an Island Learning Institutions’ Leadership Program was proposed, focusing on adaptive management strategies, capacity-building initiatives, and enhanced resource mobilization. These recommendations aim to address the identified challenges and improve the administrators’ effectiveness in providing quality education in remote areas. |
