GRADUATE SCHOOL OF ARTS, SCIENCES AND EDUCATION

MASTER OF ARTS IN EDUCATION major in

EDUCATIONAL MANAGEMENT AND LEADERSHIP

I. Rationale

By traditions, the education sector is in charged with the most crucial role in
shaping the leadership and future of this country. In an effort to develop the quality of
human resources needed, Presidential Decree No. 6-A states the need to “train the nations
manpower in the middle-level skills required for national development” and “developed
the high level professions that will provide leadership for the nation, apply knowledge
through research, and apply new knowledge for improving the quality of human life”.

The two programs (Master of Arts in Education, Educational Administration and

Master of Arts in School Principalship) were merged since both were conceived in order
to develop professionals and competent leaders who can spearhead the operations of
educational institutions in the country. Specifically, the following reasons were
considered:

a. There are similar subject offerings which cause redundancy, with this, some
subjects are fused and the descriptions were strengthened; stressing on the
area of leadership and management which is the thrust of our school-based
management;
b. The merging resolves the competition in terms of number of students
enrolling in the program. This area would be more favorable to the students
since it will address the issue of displacement fees.
c. In the case of MASP students a stigma was attached to them when they seek
permissions to study. Their principals at times feel uncomfortable since they
are pursuing a course in principalship. A generic course title is being
proposed to erase the thought (especially in public schools) that those taking
the course have the intention of assuming immediately the current post of their
superiors.

In accordance with the minimum standards set by CHED for the graduate
programs in education, the revision of the curriculum for Master of Arts in Education
major in Educational Management and Leadership is hereby proposed.
 II. Objectives

At the end of the program, the graduate student must:

1. be flexible and creative in responding to changing societal realities- socio-cultural,
economic, political, and technological developments that affect the operations of the
school;
2. be able to understand and appreciate the broad perspectives of Philippine education, the
goals of national development, and the role of educational leaders in this context;
3. perform the key functions of an educational leader in the management of school systems;
4. demonstrate a style of leadership that is workable and progressive, supported by
underlying philosophies and theories in educational management; and
5. be equipped with research skills that would enable an effective utilization of assessment
results.
