Abstract
This study reports on how a group of Fijian school leaders felt about a leadership and management
training programme they had just completed. As a preliminary study, it gathered data by means of a survey
questionnaire and document analysis. The data analysis reveals the principals’ positive perceptions of the
programme overall, although they felt some areas need more attention, notable among them being both
context-specific and field-based learning, which the leaders consider essential in future training programmes
in leadership and management to meet the special circumstances of the school. Implications of the study’s
findings are also pertinent to other jurisdictions within and beyond the Pacific region for leadership preparation
and development to improve leadership practices, an essential ingredient in school effectiveness
