Abstract

This study explores the views of female teachers regarding the factors that act as inhibitors or enablers of female participation in leadership positions in education. The research focuses on the participants’ views on family and personal responsibilities, as well as on social perceptions and gender stereotypes, which are often a barrier to women’s professional advancement in managerial positions. At the same time, the factors that contribute to encouraging and motivating women to seek and take on managerial roles in education are also examined. The research data was collected through an online questionnaire, from a sample of 96 female teachers.
