In 2004 a leadership training program was undertaken
in rural schools in Lombok, Indonesia that encouraged
shared leadership across school communities rather
than relying on top-down authority. Its purpose was
to consider the emergence of new practices when
schools are given the opportunity to be involved in a
systematic program across a six-month period. In
addition the research considered the possibility of
attaching the leadership program to AID projects from
a range of international donors as an efficient means
of disseminating positive leadership practices in the
future. A final report presented to the Ministry of
National Education in Jakarta and to members of the
donor community recommended that the trialed
leadership training program impacted significantly on
school based management and school community action.
It also recommended that it would be a valuable
inclusion in future educational AID projects
throughout Indonesia.
