Educational leaders faced twin challenges of responding to unprecedented community needs while managing radical
changes within their own organizations and across the ministry of education plan and action. Within a few weeks in
March 2020, education in Malaysia changed with unimaginable speed and scope, paralleling earlier experiences
across the world. The pandemic amplified the urgency of action taken in education sector. Face to face learning is at
stake, curriculum has been simplified and public examination for primary school was postponed. Somehow school
leaders especially primary schools need to manage the school effectively. Multiple decisions needed to be made,
communicated, implemented, and managed which need resilience capacity. In this article, we describe some key
resilient elements identified and lessons from experiences as primary school headteachers during this time and
within the future to foresee. We draw some experienced from the six high-performing primary school headteachers
in Malaysia and two from the expertise. There were broad criteria of resilient leaders in primary schools. The criteria
fall into categories of leadership whereby resilience capacity within the school leaders towards the school
organization, parents, community and stakeholders have to be considered. The consequences of these responses
resulted in a renewed recognition for school leaders to be resilient and ingenuity of teachers and primary school
students. We provide examples of these lessons, themes and make recommendations for how to manage the school
in the “new normal’ of living with COVID-19 and global challenges to be prepared with the unprecedented incident
which might happens in modern times. |
