Abstract

This study set out to explore how innovative school management could influence the development of sustainable entrepreneurial skills in elementary students. To get a broader view, both quantitative data and qualitative insights were used — not just numbers, but also voices and real experiences from within the school environment. What stood out was that certain internal school practices really seemed to make a difference. Things like strong pedagogical leadership, flexible and updated curricula, thoughtful use of technology (not just using it for the sake of it), and genuine engagement with the surrounding community all created conditions where students could grow — not just academically, but also in creativity, critical thinking, autonomy, and social responsibility. On the numbers side, there were clear links between how schools are managed and the entrepreneurial skills students are developing. Perceived organizational support also came up as a key factor. From the qualitative side — meaning what teachers and others actually said — the findings aligned: transformational leadership, smart tech integration, and socially-oriented learning were all mentioned as important. In short, when a school is willing to try new approaches, it can go beyond just improving test scores. It starts building students who are capable of acting independently, thinking critically, and engaging with the world in a meaningful way. Of course, this doesn’t happen overnight — it takes a culture that values participation, uses technology with intention, and sees learning as something connected to real life. That said, there’s still more to understand. Larger studies across different types of schools, and tracking progress over time, would help paint a clearer picture of how these dynamics actually work in practice. Overall, this research offers valuable insights for rethinking school management — not just as an administrative function, but as a space for real institutional change that can ripple out into the broader community.
