Abstract

The purpose of this conceptual paper is to investigate the barriers school principals encounter when executing rightsizing as a punishment for teachers. The main question guiding the study is: What are the challenges and implications of utilizing rightsizing as a punishment in schools? Employing a qualitative approach, the study reviews recent scholarly literature to explore the complexities of this issue. An interpretive paradigm is adopted to gain deeper insights into the perceptions surrounding rightsizing as a disciplinary strategy. Findings suggest that using rightsizing in this manner negatively affects teacher morale, job satisfaction and the general school environment fostering notions of inequity and lack of administrative support. This study contributes to existing knowledge by highlighting the adverse effects of punitive rightsizing and informing policy and leadership practices. Limitations include potential biases in the reviewed literature and the case study's context which may not be applicable to all settings.

Abstract

This conceptualized paper sought to examine the challenges novice female principals encounter regarding teacher attrition in rural primary schools. Teacher attrition, particularly in rural areas poses a significant threat to the stability and performance of schools. The main question guiding this study is: What are the key challenges that novice female principals face in managing teacher attrition in rural primary schools? A qualitative approach is adopted, encompassing an intensive review of scholarly books and articles from (2018-2024) on the topic under discussion. An interpretive paradigm is utilized to understand the academic perspectives focusing on principals in their unique rural contexts. Findings revealed that novice female principals face multiple challenges which include limited resources, professional isolation, lack of mentorship and cultural dynamics that exacerbate teacher turnover. In addition, inadequate support from local education authorities further complicates their ability to retain staff. The significance of the study lies in its potential to inform policy and leadership training programs designed to the needs of female principals within the rural settings. Limitations include the exclusive reliance on literature-based data which may require future empirical studies to validate the findings. The study highlights the need for targeted strategies to support novice female principals in mitigating teacher attrition and enhancing school stability

When recognizing parents as valuable stakeholders in the education system, schools can leverage their insights, expertise, and diverse perspectives to make more informed and inclusive decisions. Educators, policymakers, and school leaders are urged to foster a culture of partnership and collaboration between schools and parents. These recommendations emphasize the importance of communication, transparency, and meaningful engagement to ensure that parents are empowered to play an active role in shaping the educational experiences of their children.
