School leadership for social justice and its linkage with perilous politics

Social justice has become an increasingly debated concept in the political, economic, social and legal spheres of the global order. Social justice in education is as much about improving social rights and instilling hope for renewal in society by providing a quality education system as it is about strengthening political influence and financial status. Social justice in education reduces differences by making the educational environment more socialized, preparing students for better coexistence. In order to implement social justice in schools, school leaders should start by identifying the causes of inequalities in schools and the measures to be taken. Efforts to achieve social justice in schools will be the driving force for these efforts to spread throughout society. Education workers, especially those who manage educational organizations, have a one-to-one responsibility for the social justice indicators in the society they live in. Social justice is a manageable process. School administrators can also develop strategies to manage social justice in their schools. In this section, which aims to address the concept of social justice with its theoretical and practical dimensions in educational organizations, what social justice means for school administrators and teachers, what social justice practices and efforts in schools can be, what the social justice roles of actors in schools can be, the problems in achieving social justice, what the basic characteristics of school administrators who advocate social justice are, the ways and results of achieving social justice in schools are discussed.
