Abstract

The present case study explores the views of the institutional heads about the academic and non-academic activities, leadership challenges that they are facing, and coping strategies they are taking in this current scenario in the government-sponsored secondary schools of Bhangore block, West Bengal. The study adopts a qualitative method. All the institutional heads of government secondary schools in the South 24 Parganas district comprised the population of the study. Twelve samples were selected through the purposive sampling technique. Unstructured interviews and focus group discussions were arranged through the conference call, telephonic conversation, video call, and meeting with four respondents for a face-to-face unstructured interview for data collection. The major findings of the study revealed that the challenges faced by the institutional heads are mainly concerned with two categories, organizational and instructional leadership challenges, and some recommendations are given to cope with the situations for the upcoming days.
