Abstract
The overall objective of this study was to explore the problems responsible for underrepresentation of women in leadership in the secondary schools of selected sub-cities in Addis Ababa. More specifically, the study sought to investigate the current status of female principals in three sub-cities (Arada, Yeka, and Kirkos) of Addis Ababa city administration secondary schools, to examine the factors that hinder women to accept educational leadership particularly in secondary school principalship, to identify the way in which women could be aspired and develop self-confidence in order to be efficient leaders. Descriptive survey study with mixed research approach (i.e. quantitative and qualitative) was employed for this study. To collect the main data, questionnaires were administered among 143 male teachers, 30 female teachers, six male and one female supervisor, eight principals and vice-principals. Furthermore, empirical materials were gathered from three heads of sub-city education office, eight female teachers and two city education bureau deputy heads through interviews and were analyzed thematically. The data collected via questionnaires were computed through percentage, mean and mainly weighted mean. Results indicated from all the Items stated most of them affect women’s participation moderately. However home and family responsibility were found great impact on women’s participation of school leadership. Feminine character of female principals was assumed to lead to school violation, rather the findings confirm that it creates conducive condition for students learning. The overall recommendation of the study was the government should give great emphasis to work on women leadership, since the country’s half of the population is women wastage of natural resource should be minimized. Based on the results, recommendations have been forwarded and further studies have been recommended.
