Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the impact of Strategic Educational Leadership and Quality Assurance practices by the educational leaders on School Culture of Malaysian Risky Schools. A sample size of 308 Malaysian Risky school leaders was extracted from 1,536 populations. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis and full-fledged structural equation modelling were employed for statistical techniques. There are significant direct relationships between Strategic Educational Leadership and Quality Assurance practices with the School Culture. The results also proved that the proposed structural model of the study is valid and reliable and therefore represents the Malaysian Risky School Culture model. The findings of this study help the practitioners and policymakers in designing and implementing practical courses and workshops that promote the development of Strategic Educational Leadership and Quality Assurance among the school leaders. This study managed to explore new findings about the relationships between Strategic Educational Leadership and Quality Assurance practices with the School Culture of Malaysian Risky Schools.
