Abstract	The purpose of this phenomenological study was to investigate how school heads create a conducive learning environment through student empowerment and collaborative practices. The research problem focused on the importance of incorporating student voices into educational decision-making to improve learning outcomes and school climate. Utilizing a phenomenological approach and a qualitative research design, the researcher conducted an in-depth interview (IDIs) with school heads to understand their perspectives and practices in promoting student agency and participation. After conducting the study, the researcher discovered different experiences of school heads as they strive to cultivate a supportive learning environment. It was found that managing resources posed significant challenges due to limited funding and misalignment with goals. Despite these constraints, school heads prioritized professional development for teachers, often utilizing alternative funding sources and dedicating time to support growth. In addition, integrating technology into classrooms was a complex task, hindered by a digital divide and various skill levels of teachers. Curriculum adjustments were frequently required in response to new regulations. In connection, a positive attitude was crucial for overcoming challenges through with maintaining optimism to inspire and motivate their communities. They also focused on fostering inclusivity by promoting social-emotional learning and encouraging innovative teaching methods. Building strong relationships with stakeholders, including parents and staff were also essential for creating a collaborative and effective educational environment.
