<p><strong>About</strong> <strong>the Instructional Leadership Institute</strong></p>
<p>In South Africa and throughout the world, students from low-income backgrounds are disproportionately likely to miss out on high quality education and finish school with low levels of literacy and numeracy, limiting their life chances and fueling the cycle of poverty. School leaders play a key role in changing this trend; evidence shows that there is a direct path between good leadership and student outcomes. However, many school principals lack the necessary training and skills to support high quality teaching and learning processes in their schools.</p>
