“The modern principal not only needs to be an exceptional leader, but an entrepreneur with the vision to drive new ideas,” he said.

“The Harvard experience offers a rare opportunity for WA principals to explore leadership in partnership directly with their counterparts from around the world.”

The 20 principals were selected from more than 130 applicants.

“These principals were chosen because they have made an outstanding contribution to public education,” Mr Collier said.

“On their return, they will provide expertise in future reform and innovation across all public schools, including their own.”
