Abstract

This study aims at identifying the activation of the role of feminine leaders in educational decision-making in educational administrations in the Northern Borders Province in light of the Kingdom's vision 2030. It also aims to identify what educational leadership is, to study the conceptual framework of the contemporary education decision-making process, and to examine the reality of the problems of feminine leaders in educational decision-making in the educational administrations in the Northern Borders. In addition, it tries to develop a proposed vision to activate the role of feminine leaders in educational decision-making in Educational Administrations in the Northern Borders Province in light of Vision 2030. To achieve the objectives of this study, the researcher adopted the descriptive and analytical approach to study the role of women leaders in the Northern Borders Province, and to develop dimensions of the current reality for educational decision-making. The study sample includes (101) Educational Supervisors and Educational Leaders from educational departments in the Northern Borders Province Educational Administrations. A questionnaire was designed to achieve the aims of this study. It consists of two parts; part one consists of five sub-parts and (31) items, while part two consists of four sub-parts and (18) items. The results of the study showed a weakness in some professional and academic competencies attributed to feminine leaders. It also pointed out some deficiencies in relying on electronic correspondence in various administrative procedures, as well as the decentralization of educational decision-making. The results showed the almost-absent role of feminine leaders in the Northern Borders Province in educational decision-making, due to the overlapping roles between the Ministry and the Educational Regions. The researcher recommended developing a vision to activate the role of feminine leaders in educational decision-making in Educational Administrations in the Northern Borders Province in light of Vision 2030, with developers keeping in mind the objectives of the proposed vision.
