Institutionalizing Distributed Leadership in Greek Schools: Challenges, Opportunities and Digital Learning Integration
Résumé
This review-of-policy article explores Greece's recent efforts to institutionalize distributed leadership within its educational system, particularly focusing on how digital tools and e-learning platforms can support these reforms. The article builds on the recommendations of the 2018 OECD report, "Education for a Bright Future in Greece," which emphasized the need for decentralizing school governance and fostering collaborative leadership models. The Greek government introduced three key roles—school life consultant, curriculum coordinator, and mentor—to distribute leadership responsibilities across different stakeholders. This paper critically evaluates these reforms, highlighting the potential of digital technologies to enhance leadership collaboration, professional development, and student outcomes. The article concludes with recommendations for integrating e-learning innovations into distributed leadership practices.
