Leaders in Education Programme International (LEPI)
Our one-week executive programme, launched in 2005, caters specifically to school principals and education ministry officers. It focuses on critical leadership skills needed to sustainably optimise school performance.
Overview
The educational landscape across the world is giving rise to new and escalating challenges. Nations need innovative leaders of extraordinary ability to lead schools in a dynamic and uncertain context.
This one-week executive programme is specially catered for school principals and education ministry officers. It focuses on the critical skills that leaders require to navigate schools through the pathways to enable optimal performance sustainably.
Launched in 2005, the LEPI programme has quickly established itself as one of NIE International's flagship programmes. The programme will provide a unique and enriching experience. It engages and support key personnel in education who will be the extraordinary leaders for the future. This programme exposes participants to the latest thinking in educational leadership.
Participants will be inspired to build their individual and collective capacity and learn how to become champions of innovation, so that they can take their schools upwards to higher levels of performance. Participants will work with an international peer group of leaders in education, engaged in effective conversation, learn new ways to ask questions, and benefit from peer-to-peer learning experiences.
The nature of teaching and learning has undergone substantial changes. In this one-week edition of the LEPI, we continue to examine the role of a transformational school leader in providing the coherence to strategically and innovatively steer their school amidst an ever-uncertain environment post-pandemic and beyond.

Knowledge in the Classroom: Teaching sessions in the form of seminars, group presentations and experiential learning in providing the coherence to strategically and innovatively steer the school.

The LEPI teaching faculty offers an impressive blend of academic credentials and professional experience. Participants will work with both NIE professors who excel in research and writing on educational leadership, and professionals from schools who have had years of school leadership experiences. As a teaching team, they provide participants with a rich understanding of the theory-practice nexus in school leadership.
Participants will learn about the latest developments in school leadership. They will learn about leading schools in times of rapid and unpredictable change. They will gain first-hand experience of Singapore's schools. They will meet and work with peers from other systems and help to develop an international learning community. The experiences in the learning journey will encourage you to think deeply about your role as a leader.
On successful completion and full attendance of the programme, participants will be awarded the Leaders in Education Programme International Certificate of Participation.
