Abstract

The study is conducted to analyze the leadership barriers faced by female teachers of secondary schools in District Haveli. The objectives of the study were: to identify personal barriers, social barriers of secondary schools in district Haveli, academic barriers, and management skills of female teachers. Universal random sampling technique was used to draw sample from the population. The participants of the study were all secondary schools’ teachers and principals. Questionnaire and interviews were used as a data collection tool. Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis. Major findings include; there is no child care facility available in the schools for newly parents. It was challenging for female teachers to keep balance between both home and school work. The study recommended developing flexible work policies that cater to the diverse requirements of teachers with families, offering alternatives such as telecommunicating and adaptable schedules. Schools should consider establishing on-site child care facilities to offer convenient and accessible care for the children of faculty, staff, and students.
