| dc.description.abstract | Many scholars have criticized leadership training approaches for concentrating too much on technological barriers and administrative skills while ignoring internship. It is, therefore, the purpose of this study to evaluate what the principals learn in the Diploma of Educational Management and Leadership training and what its impact is. The research design for this study is a mixed methods approach applied using a case study design. The researcher used an interview guide and questionnaire as instruments to collect data. The total population of the study was one hundred and thirty-seven (137) principals that were trained by UNAM. A random sampling technique was used to select principals that underwent the training in Oshana Region. Eight principals were randomly selected from those who completed the programme. Data were analysed by arranging responses according to the research questions, and applied an inductive approach. Findings from the study reported that principals in the Oshana region, Namibia, noted the relationship between what principals learned in the DEML and their leadership responsibilities in schools and some insights have been provided. In relation to their experience regarding the in-service training, the following suggestions are made: The programme should be more practical than theoretical, more contact sessions should be included, a post- evaluation of the programme should be done with participants to assess the practicality of the content learned, and the programme should include ministerial policies of MoEAC. All of these suggestions could substantially assist in educating principals and act as a learning process for educators | en_US |
