ABSTRACT
This case study investigates aspiring student's perception of political literacy in
educational leadership, offering critical recommendations for principal preparation
programs, policymakers, and future research. As a qualitative study, the case
addresses integrating political literacy policy, developing relevant professional
development opportunities, and initiating future research to gauge the possible
impact of political literacy as a practice and subject. Moreover, findings reveal the
challenges and strategies for implementing political literacy in school settings
through the lens of experienced teachers with aspirations to be school leaders. The

engagement and critical thinking within school communities.
