Adigrat University has officially launched a three-day training program titled “Capacity Building Training for Secondary School Principals on Instructional Leadership, Change Management, and Digital Skills.” The program is organized by the Deliverology and Teachers Development Coordination Office.
The training was officially opened by Dr. Haftay G/Yesus, Delegate to the Vice President, following a brief orientation by Mr. Getnet Kiros, Head of the Coordination Office. Mr. Araya Debalkew, Dean of the College of Social Sciences, also delivered opening remarks, emphasizing the importance of strengthening school leadership to improve educational outcomes.
The program focuses on three key thematic areas: Instructional Leadership, Change Management, and Digital Skills, all of which are critical for enhancing the performance of school leaders in today’s evolving education system. The training has brought together university leaders, expert trainers, and secondary school principals, ensuring active participation and meaningful engagement.
Designed using a Training of Trainers approach, the program not only equips participants with essential leadership and digital competencies but also prepares them to transfer the knowledge and skills gained to other educators in their respective institutions. This cascading model is expected to amplify the impact of the training and contribute to sustainable capacity building across schools.
Overall, the initiative aims to empower principals as effective instructional leaders, promote practical improvements in educational quality, and strengthen the integration of digital skills in school management. It represents an important step toward enhancing institutional leadership and advancing a modern, resilient education system.
