Learning quality is closely related to the quality of teaching practices and the conditions that support the learning process in schools. In this context, principal leadership is important because it can shape the direction of learning, teacher development, supervision, school climate, and the use of educational resources. This study aims to analyze the role of principal leadership in improving learning quality based on findings from previous studies. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature study. Relevant scientific articles addressing principal leadership, instructional leadership, teacher professionalism, academic supervision, school climate, collaboration, innovation, teaching quality, teacher performance, and student learning outcomes were identified, categorized, compared, and synthesized. The findings indicate that principal leadership supports learning quality through instructional leadership, teacher professional development, academic supervision, resource management, collaborative school environments, and support for innovation. Instructional leadership is associated with teaching quality, while distributed leadership is linked to teacher collaboration and job satisfaction. Principal leadership is also associated with teacher performance and student learning outcomes. These findings suggest that school leadership needs to be learning-oriented, collaborative, adaptive, and responsive to school context and available resources.
