Abstract:

Purpose:

The purpose of this article is to look into the concept of educational responsibility towards the growth of our Indian economy and upskilling of our younger generation as an important component of effective leadership in educational institutions. The research aims to create a comprehensive evaluation instrument that assesses and measures the numerous dimensions of educational responsibility at multiple levels across educational institutions in South India. The goal is to offer leaders insights into their strengths and areas for improvement, allowing them to make more informed decisions and take actions that encourage good educational administration to be more effective.

Methodology:

The study takes a qualitative approach to discovering and comparing ideas about smart leadership and educational administration. The study acknowledges the importance of leadership in determining the quality education and outcomes of educational institutions. It emphasizes the need to have a thorough awareness of the various obligations that come with properly managing educational institutions. To answer this demand, the researchers recommend developing a multi-level assessment tool that addresses all aspects of leadership and educational administration.

Findings:

The study indicates that educational administration requires holding others accountable for the efficient running of an educational system in which others actively participate. Most of the private institutes only focus on their profit, not the student’s quality and placements. The concept of educational responsibility has several elements, including decision-making, stakeholder participation, creating a positive learning environment, and supporting student achievement through placement. The study highlights the importance of educational accountability in organizational analyses in educational institutions.

Originality:

The proposed evaluation tool takes a systematic approach to measuring educational responsibility, allowing leaders to gain insight into their own performance and identify areas for improvement. This study emphasizes the importance of understanding and assessing educational responsibility in the context of leadership and educational administration, highlighting the assessment tool's potential impact on enhancing leadership practices and quality educational outcomes.
