Type: article
Abstract: This qualitative study explored how adaptive curriculum leadership enhanced educational programme quality amid digital transformation in higher education. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with academic leaders, including deans, programme chairpersons, senior faculty, and faculty experts from diverse disciplines in a Philippine state university. The findings show that adaptive curriculum leadership was critical for integrating digital technologies, fostering collaboration, and addressing challenges such as technological advancement, curriculum misalignment, and equitable access. Key social and technological forces driving adaptation include digital literacy, personalised learning, and global collaboration. Leadership strategies to address these challenges include infrastructure upgrades, faculty development, and curriculum redesign aligned with technological and industry needs. The study highlights flexibility, inclusivity, and responsiveness as essential for sustaining high-quality programmes in the digital era.
