2019 marks the tenth year since the first Asia Leadership Roundtable (ALR) was held in Hong Kong. Under the theme “The First Decade of Asian Research on School Leadership in a Global Context”, more than 60 international and regional researchers from 17 societies on five continents gathered in Guilin, Guangxi Province, on 10-12 March. The participants reflected on how the collective efforts flowing from the ALR have contributed to the international knowledge base of school leadership over the past 10 years and what the major challenges facing regional researchers will be in the coming decade. The 2019 ALR was again organised and sponsored by the Asia Pacific Centre for Leadership and Change (APCLC) and the Faculty of Education and Human Development at The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK), together with the Faculty of Education of Guangxi Normal University.

The ALR is now firmly established as the premier forum for research in school leadership in the Asia Pacific Region. Publications from projects initiated through the ALR have had a significant impact on knowledge production and dissemination throughout the region – particularly in Hong Kong, the Mainland, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Vietnam. Research output from the ALR network has enabled the APCLC to become the leading contributor to school leadership research in East and Southeast Asia and has positioned EdUHK as a key international player in the region.
