School Heads’ Managerial Capability, Adaptability, and Challenges in Implementing Educational Reforms

Abstract This study explored the managerial capability, adaptability, and challenges faced by school heads in implementing educational reforms in the Schools Division of Antique during the School Year 2024–2025. The respondents were 217 Teachers-in-Charge who were purposively selected because of their direct experience working under the leadership of school heads. Data were gathered using a structured questionnaire designed to assess school heads’ managerial skills, their ability to adapt to policy and curriculum changes, and the challenges encountered during reform implementation. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression analysis. Results showed that school heads demonstrated a high level of managerial capability and a high level of adaptability . However, respondents reported moderate to high levels of challenges , particularly in terms of limited resources, resistance from stakeholders, and insufficient professional development opportunities. Correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between managerial capability and adaptability, while both variables were significantly and negatively related to the challenges encountered. Regression analysis further indicated that managerial capability and adaptability significantly predict the level of challenges faced by school heads, with managerial capability emerging as the stronger predictor. The findings suggest that strong managerial skills and adaptability play a crucial role in reducing challenges and ensuring the successful implementation of educational reforms. Strengthening leadership development, providing adequate resources, and offering continuous professional support are therefore recommended to enhance school leadership effectiveness.
