Unfolding of Filipino school leadership experiences in Doha, Qatar
Del Rosario, Kris Anne1, Ancho, Inero Valbuena2.
Due to internationalization, Qatar is hiring foreign educators and leaders to share expertise in their country.
Filipinos are mostly hired as domestic helpers, yet there are also Filipino leaders in educational institutions that
exist, particularly in the capital city Doha. The researchers find it significant to examine the experiences of
Filipino teachers abroad, due to the rising number of educators and school leaders in Qatar. Romanowski et al.
(2018) cited that there is a very few studies regarding principalship and diversity of educators notwithstanding
the enormous knowledge of research that emphasize leadership in school and diversity of students. The study
attempts to unfold the lived experiences of Filipino school managers in international schools in Doha, Qatar
specifically with: 1) the experiences of Filipino school managers in terms of: (a) Planning; (b) Organizing; (c)
Leading and (d) Controlling. 2) The challenges of being a school leader in international schools in Doha. Four
(4) themes emerged from the study with subthemes that depicted the experiences and challenges of Filipino
school leaders. Theme 1 explains the Filipino school leaders in complying with mandates and policies. Theme 2
discusses the Filipino school leaders in adapting with culture. Theme 3 defines the Filipino school leaders
conforming with programs. Theme 4 depicts the Filipino school leaders in conforming with resources. The
study is beneficial to the aspiring and current school leaders not only to Filipinos, but also to other nationalities
interested in or are presently managing international schools in Doha.
