Adigrat University Launches Strategic Capacity-Building Program for Secondary School Principals

In a major move to modernise regional education management, Adigrat University has officially launched a three-day intensive training program titled “Capacity Building Training for Secondary School Principals on Instructional Leadership, Change Management, and Digital Skills.”

Organised by the Deliverology and Teachers Development Coordination Office, the initiative aims to empower school leaders with the tools necessary to navigate an evolving educational landscape.

The program was opened by Dr. Haftay G/Yesus, Delegate to the Vice President, following a briefing by the Head of the Coordination Office, Mr. Getnet Kiros. Adding to the opening remarks, Mr. Araya Debalkew, Dean of the College of Social Sciences, underscored that robust leadership at the school level is the primary driver of improved student outcomes.

To ensure the training's impact extends beyond the initial participants, the university adopted a Training of Trainers (ToT) approach. This cascading model prepares principals to transfer their newly acquired leadership and digital competencies to educators within their respective schools, ensuring sustainable growth across the district.

The initiative marks a significant step for Adigrat University in fulfilling its community service mandate and fostering a modern, tech-savvy generation of academic leaders.
