This study explores how schools and universities managed education during the global challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. It focuses on the strategies and changes educational leaders made to ensure learning continued despite the crisis. The research used both interviews and surveys to gather information. A total of 200 participants were involved, including school principals, teachers, and students from different education levels. The data was analyzed by identifying common themes in the interviews and using simple statistics for the survey results. The findings revealed that schools that quickly adopted digital tools and maintained strong communication with teachers, students, and parents were able to continue lessons with less disruption. Key strategies that worked included fast decision-making, supporting teachers in improving their skills, and ensuring all students had access to the technology they needed. The study concludes that strong leadership in education is essential during a crisis and recommends improving technology in schools, providing better crisis management training for leaders, and ensuring equal access to education for all students.
