Abstract

The purpose of the study on “Practices and Challenges of Diversity Management in Preparatory Schools of Addis Ababa City Administration the Case of Yeka sub-city” was to explore the practice and challenges of diversity management. It has been conducted in eight selected preparatory schools. The study in general has been planned under the objective of exploring the practices and challenges of diversity management that faced by school managers to indicate the dimensions of diversity in schools. In addition to these, it tried to provide a framework for the school leaders on how diversity management can be effective and managed, so that: schools can be capable of building strong leadership in diversity management. The study generally has raised three basic questions. These are; what is the practices diversity management in schools? What are the challenges of diversity management in schools? And how does the leadership play in managing diversity? In order to answer these questions, case study was designed and gathered through interview, FGD, observation and FGD. Selected official documents were also analysed. The collected data was analyzed qualitatively. Based on the data gathered, the study has been reached to its findings. In its finding, the practice and challenges of diversity management in the selected schools not only for gender, linguistics and special need dimensions but also other diversity aspects were shown. The study was also found managing diversity couldn’t play significant role for the success of student’s academic achievement in these grade level. But managing diversity was valuable to harmonize student’s life when the students will join more diversified contexts. The study was also identified the knowledge and skill of leaders to manage diversity is questionable. Generally, practical guidelines should be designed for school manager and leaders in line with the education and training policy of FDRE.
