Abstract

This chapter examines the conflict between Ubuntu and globalization. The advent of globalization is rapidly and inevitably changing the world's development setting. The development has neither been merciful nor friendly to Ubuntu. As a consequence, pressure is mounting for the re-definition and re-positioning of the functions of schools. Ethical leadership and emphasis on multiculturalism are some of the key features that define new school systems. Botswana and Nigeria school leadership systems are explored to generate a more sensitive school leadership model.
