School leadership plays a vital role in improvement and upgradation of the standard of education; thus, making it imperative to enhance the managerial skills of the school leaders and equipping them with requisite knowledge, skills and positive attitude to enable them to improve their schools and raise them to international standards. To achieve this vision the School Education Department expects school heads to work in close cooperation and collaboration with local community, school staff, parents and District Education. Directorate of Staff Development (DSD) has been mandated, since its inception in1959, to develop quality instructional material and provide professional development to in-service and pre- service public school teachers, head teachers and administrators. Keeping in view the Government's Vision, a Head Teacher Guide became the need of the hour to create awareness and facilitate the head teachers in discharge of their duties and responsibilities effectively. This Head Teacher's Guide provides relevant and detailed information and contains self learning material to improve their performance in schools. Integrated activities will enable them to work as mentor for the staff to improve whole school performance. It is visualized that the guide will also prove helpful for head teachers to acquire procedural knowledge, enhance their managerial skills and create an atmosphere conducive to the teaching learning process. It serves the purpose of a 'tool kit' to improve standards in schools. The Programme Director DSD, Additional Programme Director, Faculty Members and Material Development Team acknowledge the cooperation extended by various public, private, National and International organizations in the preparation of the document. DSD is especially grateful to GIZ (German International Cooperation Agency) for extending its full cooperation and support in conducting workshops and development and designing of the guide. DSD is grateful to World Bank, DFID and Pak-UK Task Force for their timely input in the completion of the task. Our special thanks is due to UNICEF for providing photographs.

It appeared that good performance of teachers was not encouraged. The School Council was non-functional and targets set for the academic calendar were not achieved.
