The National Qualifying Examination for School Heads (NQESH) is a pivotal test designed to assess the leadership and management skills of aspiring school heads in the Philippines. This exam serves as the gateway for educational professionals seeking promotion to higher leadership positions, particularly the role of principal. By measuring competencies in areas such as instructional leadership, school governance, and operations, the NQESH ensures that only the most capable candidates are elevated to the responsibility of leading schools.
