The Nexus of Autonomy and Instructional Leadership in Selected School Clusters in Zimbabwe
Makaye, Jeriphanos; Jita, Loyiso C.; Mapetere, Kudakwashe
Journal of Education, v203 n3 p531-540 Jul 2023
This article examines the nexus of autonomy and instructional leadership in school clusters in Zimbabwe. Using the Better Schools Programme of Zimbabwe cluster, teachers and school heads were interviewed on their perspectives on how autonomy influences instructional leadership practices. Results established that clusters provide schools with the freedom to determine the activities deemed necessary to improve student learning. However, although autonomy is prescribed in the policy, inadequate resources provided to schools render them less autonomous and ineffective in this endeavor. The article argues for a more deliberate and deeper discourse about the challenges of balancing autonomy and control.
