Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of a zoning-based school admission policy and its implications for institutional adaptation, leadership practices, and organizational management in public secondary education. The research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with school leaders, teachers, and administrative staff, complemented by observations and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, including coding, categorization, and synthesis to identify patterns of institutional adaptation. The findings reveal three major themes: (1) institutional adaptation through organizational restructuring and strategic leadership, (2) instructional adjustments to address increasingly diverse student characteristics, and (3) stakeholder engagement to sustain institutional legitimacy and public trust. Leadership played a pivotal role in coordinating adaptive strategies, strengthening internal management, and ensuring policy compliance while maintaining educational quality. The study concludes that zoning policy implementation represents a multidimensional institutional transformation process rather than merely an administrative admission mechanism. The findings provide theoretical contributions to the literature on educational policy implementation and offer practical implications for policymakers and school leaders seeking to enhance institutional capacity and promote sustainable educational equity.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the extent to which principal management influences teachers’ pedagogical competence within a secondary school context. Employing a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 15 teachers through structured questionnaires measuring four dimensions of principal management (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling) and five indicators of pedagogical competence. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, normality testing, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression in IBM SPSS Statistics 24. The findings reveal a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between principal management and teachers’ pedagogical competence (R = .745, R² = .555, p < .05), indicating that principal management explains 55.5% of the variance in pedagogical competence. The regression model (Ŷ = 48.98 + 0.59X) suggests that improvements in managerial practices are associated with meaningful gains in teachers’ instructional capacity. These results underscore the pivotal role of effective school leadership in enhancing instructional quality and highlight the importance of strengthening principals’ managerial and instructional leadership competencies to support sustainable teacher professional development.
