Leadership at the primary school level in Bhutan: A study of the historical background, recent developments, and current concerns of school leaders in a constitutional monarchy and developing country

The study aimed to develop an understanding of leadership at the primary school level in remote regions in Bhutan. It examined the historical background and recent developments in relation to, primary school leadership in Bhutan. It also investigated the current concerns faced by primary school leaders and the strategies adopted by them in order to deal with those concerns. At the same time, there has been a dearth of research and associated literature relating to leadership at the individual school level in remote contexts. Similarly, only a limited research base exists on school level leadership in developing countries. This thesis reports a study undertaken as one attempt to address those deficits.
