Abstract

With social progress and changing educational needs, educational equity and quality have become critical issues that urgently need to be solved in education today. Through a comprehensive analysis of educational leadership's theoretical development and practice, this paper profoundly analyzes the current situation and existing problems of educational equity and quality. It reveals issues such as uneven distribution of educational resources, single educational evaluation, and unbalanced educational policies. On this basis, this paper summarizes the challenges that educational leadership needs to face and proposes corresponding strategies. First, the leaders must undergo a two-way transformation to achieve changes in their roles to promote the joint development of educational equity and quality. Second, establishing a collaboration mechanism will optimize educational equity and quality governance and achieve all parties' joint participation. Finally, we correct the value orientation of educational leadership and return it to its essence to resolve the contradiction between educational equity and quality. In conclusion, we highlight the critical role of educational leadership in promoting educational equity and quality improvement and provide practical guidance for educational administrators.
