Abstract
This academic article aims to analyze the role of school administrators in driving learning innovation within the context of educational change in the 21st century. The article discusses the concepts and meanings of learning innovation, the role of administrators as change leaders, key success factors, as well as challenges and developmental approaches for sustaining learning innovation. The analysis highlights that school administrators play a crucial role in setting vision, establishing supportive systems, developing teachers’ and staff’s capacities, and fostering a learning-oriented organizational culture. The success of learning innovation depends on the integration of leadership, teachers, learners, and the school and community context. Although limitations related to resources, attitudes, and policy changes remain, effective integrated management and appropriate support can enhance educational quality and promote sustainable learning development.
