This course aimed at equipping participants with updated knowledge and necessary skills in leadership and management practices in higher education as well as giving them opportunities to share their experience with other participants and trainers. The topics of discussion covered at the training course consisted of (1) Innovative educational leadership and management in times of crisis, (2) Strategic planning in higher education, (3) Leading change through crisis and conflicts in higher education, and (4) Assessment of faculty in higher education. 

The training course is one of the key activities annually carried out by SEAMEO RETRAC to support countries in Southeast Asia, especially Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar and Vietnam, in strengthening leadership and managerial capacity for their schools’ leaders. 

This year, the course was conducted online on SEAMEO RETRAC’s Moodle site and Zoom platform.
