Type: article

Abstract: The role of leadership and entrepreneurship in teaching is key to the management of sustainable educational environments, promoting inclusive and innovative teaching. This quantitative, cross-sectional study seeks to explore education professionals’ perceptions of their leadership, entrepreneurship, and empowerment capacities in education based on a validated questionnaire applied to 623 education professionals. The results reveal that women, teachers in management positions, and those who are older and more and experienced perceive their skills in these areas to be better than those of men, classroom teachers, and those with less professional experience. However, gaps in teacher training in leadership and entrepreneurship have been identified, which hinders the implementation of effective strategies for educational transformation. In conclusion, there is a need to strengthen teacher training in entrepreneurship, leadership, and empowerment and establish educational policies that favor innovation, collaborative work, and the consolidation of inclusive and sustainable pedagogical practices.
