Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This study examined the challenges and opportunities perceived by teachers in annex schools in Diadi District. Guided by Transformational Leadership and Adult Learning theories, it explored differences in perceptions based on demographic variables. Using cluster sampling, 76 teachers completed a validated questionnaire. Results showed significant challenges in leadership vision and access to professional development, alongside recognized opportunities for collaboration. Differences were significant by sex and teaching experience but not by age, civil status, or academic rank. The study recommends targeted leadership training and context-specific professional development to enhance educational equity in schools serving marginalized communities.
