The thesis aimed to:

Identify the training needs of administrative leaders in the Ministry of Education in light of the National Vision for Building the Modern Yemeni State (2030), as perceived by the leaders themselves.
Determine the extent of these training needs in areas of Institutional capacity-building, administrative development, Human development, effective leadership, E-management, and digital transformation
Explore whether statistically significant differences exist in the perceptions of administrative leaders based on variables such as gender, academic qualification, job title, years of experience, and number of previous training courses.

The research yielded several key findings as follows:

The highest training needs identified among administrative leaders were in the area of e-management and digital transformation.
There were no statistically significant differences at the 0.05 level based on gender, years of experience, or the number of previous training courses.
Statistically significant differences were observed in the domain of institutional capacity-building and administrative development, attributable to academic qualification and job title.

The researcher proposed several recommendations, including:

The development of training programs for administrative leaders tailored to the actual needs identified, in alignment with the National Vision.
The design of specialized training programs targeting academic leaders, senior administrative staff, and executive supervisors

The thesis defense was attended by a number of academics, researchers, and interested participants, along with the researcher’s colleagues and family members.
