“…Specifically, a lack of well-being is established in the school context that provokes exhaustion in learning situations, the rejection of opportunities to study and feelings of incompetence or the lack of ability to adapt to these situations [4,26]. Furthermore, it is a complex problem that can only be approached from transversal standpoints, which tackle problems in a multi-dimensional way and offer multi-disciplinary solutions, such as student guidance and tutoring [27,28].…”

The school burnout of children, defined as physical and mental exhaustion due to a lack of adjustment to the educational context, constitutes a serious problem in contemporary education. Thus, the determination of the elements that influence it and the possible strategies for avoiding it are key in the process of improving children’s well-being. A descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 569 children aged 8 to 13 at eight primary education schools in Granada (Spain). With the aim of examining the association between the possible exhaustion of children and planned tutoring and guidance activities, a structural equation model (SEM) as the analytical technique was used. The results show good fit indices for the model (comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.955; normalised fit index (NFI) = 0.956; incremental fit index (IFI) = 0.946; root mean squared error approximation (RMSEA) = 0.089), which reflects the need for tutoring and guidance activities that are infused throughout the entire teaching process in order to preserve children’s well-being.

“…Skole in kwintiele 1 tot 3 wat geen fooie kan hef nie en daarom hoofsaaklik van die regering se geld afhanklik is, kan teoreties ekstra fondse insamel uit ander bronne, ouers en plaaslike ondernemings inkluis. Dit is egter juis omdat sommige skole armer gemeenskappe bedien dat hulle derhalwe nie in staat is om ekstra geld in te samel van die gemeenskappe waar hulle geleë is nie (Christie 2006;Xaba & Malindi 2010;Van Dyk & White 2019). In baie gevalle is armer gemeenskappe nie in staat om te help met die verskaffing van bykomende bronne nie.…”

Entrepreneurial leadership style in schools: Good versus poor socio-economic circumstancesThe purpose of this research was to investigate the entrepreneurial leadership style of the principals of schools operating in both good and poor socio-economic circumstances.In an effort to provide education to all, organisations have been established to support education worldwide. In recent decades, various organisations related to education have emerged in the world. These organisations include the Association for Childhood Education International (a global community of educators and advocates for education reform); the Global Partnership for Education, which operates in nearly 60 developing countries through a multilateral partnership that includes donor governments, international organisations and teachers; the United Nations International Fund for Emergencies, committed to a holistic and humanistic vision of quality education worldwide, the realisation of everyone's right to education and the belief that education plays a fundamental role in human, social and economic development; and the United Nations International Emergency Fund for Children, which recognises the rights of every child. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation and the United Nations Children's Fund both emphasise access to and equality and quality of learning in education, regardless of educational goals.The leadership as executed by the principal of a school plays an important role in the functioning of the school. However, the socio-economic circumstances will have a direct bearing on the success with which the principal will be able to perform his duties. Here finance plays an important role. If the school is graded as a quintile 5 school according to the quintile system, the principals are dependent on school fees and additional funding through the help of the school governing bodies. When the school is located in a good socio-economic environment, the funds are easier to raise. In contrast, lower quintile schools, which are usually located in poor socio-economic environments, often have to raise extra money under difficult circumstances to keep the school running. For this reason, it is important for principals to think like entrepreneurs to find creative and innovative ways to raise extra funds. Entrepreneurial leadership is a distinctive type of leadership required for dealing with the challenges and crises of current organisational settings. Despite the debates on the definition of entrepreneurial leadership, there has been a relative consensus among researchers on the distinctive competencies that motivate and enable entrepreneurial leaders to lead an organisation successfully. These competencies are a combination of personal characteristics, skills and knowledge that have long-lasting and influential effects on entrepreneurial leaders' organisational performance. Among the personal competencies that have been specified for entrepreneurial leaders, proactiveness, innovativeness and risk-taking are the ones most c...

“…Furthermore, few empirical studies have focused on entrepreneurship at the school level (e.g., Eyal, 2007;Eyal and Inbar, 2003) or among school principals (Yemini and Addi Raccah, 2014). In addition, the literature provides limited case studies of entrepreneurial actions in education (e.g., Lelsey and Lavaroni, 2003;Xaba and Malindi, 2010). Finally, almost no attention was devoted to the role of external organizations that operate within schools to promote entrepreneurship (Yemini and Addi Raccah, 2014;Yemini, Addi Raccah and Katarivas, 2015).…”

This article investigates the rationales and activities of nine nonprofit intermediary organizations operating in Israeli public schools, under similar missions of promoting school entrepreneurship. I apply a multiple case study qualitative methodology with in-depth interviews and complementary content analysis to investigate how those intermediaries operate and thrive. I depict how the concept of school entrepreneurship is formed and facilitated and reveal how state policy and intermediaries’ activities interact and shape schools’ realm, as shown in three specific paradoxes emerging from my analysis.
