“The whole process of studies in the Doctor of Education has totally changed my perspective to see the world around me, transforming me into a real doctoral researcher. The Bristol programme is fulfilled with varied and updated themes of classes and extensive supports toward dissertation writing, which has been gradually developing my solid foundation. In addition, this enables me to deeply challenge my everyday administrative works on a research basis.”

“I obtained my Med in Inclusive Education in Mainstream Schools and EdD focused on Servant-Leadership from the University of Bristol, UK. I am grateful for expert instruction and constructive feedback from professors and lecturers, as well as dialogue with classmates from different professions. This doctoral program of study has stretched me and strengthened my capacity for new challenges. It has open doors to various opportunities, such as sharing my research finding at Oxford in December 2015 and Singapore in May, 2016. My research was accepted for publication by a peer-reviewed journal. I look forward to extending my research into different dimensions of school leadership.”
