“…Based on open‐ended interviews with Omani elementary school principals, Al‐Ghanabousi and Idris () discovered that principals set performance goals for teaching and learning in classroom, but not through any systematic plan preparation. Of the factors hindering the principals from conducting effective performance evaluation are centralisation policies, insufficient time to carry out performance evaluation among the school teachers owing to overwhelming responsibilities, a lack of support from the district and a lack of effective training on evaluation techniques and methods.…”
As most of the scholarship about educational leadership and management refers to developed countries, our aim in this review is to systematically collect, document, scrutinise and critically analyse at time of writing date research on educational leadership in Arab countries and to identify the key strengths and weaknesses in the research literature. Based on a systematic review of 48 articles, it was found that the vast majority of research on Arab educational leadership focused on either identifying patterns of leadership styles and orientations and the barriers faced by educational leaders in applying some of the leadership models originated in Western scholarship, or on exploring and examining leaders’ managerial perceptions and practices both in times of routine and reforms. Our analysis identified several theoretical, conceptual and methodological limitations contributing to and, in many cases, impeding researchers’ ability to predict or explain the nature of Arab educational leadership.

“…Infrastructure, on the other hand, is a facility that aids and supports the learning process. This can produce optimum and effective outcomes in developing a generation of knowledge with facilities and infrastructure that are in accordance with the aspirations of the world of education today (Al-Ghanabousi & Idris, 2010).…”
The purpose of this research is to analyze and explain the design, organization, execution, and oversight of infrastructure facilities in order to improve the quality of learning at SMP Negeri 01 Belitang II. This study employs a qualitative approach. Data analysis employs analysis, namely data reduction, data display, and conclusion making. The study's findings were examined through four components of infrastructure management implementation: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising in order to improve the quality of learning at SMP Negeri 01 Belitang II. The infrastructure design step involves developing many programs and carefully preparing so that students may have pleasant amenities while not incurring high school costs. The organizational stage begins with the selection of those who will carry out the responsibilities or job of task division, including the principal, vice principal, teachers, and TU personnel. The principal determines the procedure of implementing infrastructure with the cooperation of the treasurer, and the deputy head of the facility supplies any items as needed. The infrastructure facilities are then supervised to ensure that their usage and maintenance function smoothly and do not interfere with the continuous learning process.

It Theoretical literature suggests that the 21st-century civilization is a strictly material, soulless civilization that afflicts people with the boredom of life with all its material components, It has become necessary to provide spiritual leadership that inspires the souls of teachers with a determination that promotes harmony and tranquility in the soul, and the courage to challenge crises as every teacher has a great spiritual power that requires profound enlightenment so that he can give and innovate relentlessly without the presence of any negative emotions that hurdles his energies (Toll, 2009).…”
