The Promoting Understanding of Leadership in Schools (PULS) Survey aims to inform policy- and decision-makers about the on-the-ground reality of and the support needed by school leaders in low- and middle-income countries.

GSL administered the first PULS Survey in August 2020, when schools were managing through the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the years since, school leaders have experienced many challenges over the course of reopening schools and, more recently, in trying to establish a new normal and make up for lost learning.

The survey serves as a window into their worlds, revealing major challenges they face and areas that they require support in to succeed in their role.
