Abstract

This paper presents a systematic review of the articles published about school level leadership and administration in 8 key comparative education journals from 1995-2017. The purpose of the paper is first to demonstrate that, as a field, comparative education engages questions of school level leadership and administration at best unevenly. This absence is especially noteworthy since during the dates covered by the review the school principalship was embraced as a lever for school improvement and school reform worldwide (Schleicher 2012; Day et al. 2016; OECD, 2016). Next, in an attempt to understand what our database of 87 articles indicates about the fields of educational administration and comparative education we inductively developed a new conceptual framework.
