In Israel's Arab society, management positions in schools have traditionally been held by men. In recent decades, Arab society has undergone processes of change, that also include a change in the status of women, and as a result, an increase in the education levels of Arab women, resulting in more Arab women entering the workforce. As a result, there is a rise in the number of Arab women in management positions, but they are still a significant minority compared to men in leadership roles. This presents numerous unique challenges while simultaneously opening important opportunities for social change. This article focuses on Arab women in managerial positions in schools in the Arab society in Israel, exploring the daily challenges they face, what factors contribute to their success as school managers, and the advantages of female leadership in schools.
