This study's objective was to examine the prevalence of learning-centred leadership behaviour in the public second cycle primary schools in Amhara National Regional State. A cross-sectional design was used. The study employed a stratified random sampling procedure and included 275 participants. Survey questionnaire was used to gather data from school administrators and teachers. Tools for data analysis included the mean, one sample and independent t-test. The findings showed that school leaders generally performed at a sub-basic level when it came to learning-centred leadership. The findings also displayed that the performance level of leaders across core elements and key processes was perceived to be below basic. This implies that administrators display learning-centred leadership behaviour at a level of effectiveness that is unlikely to have a beneficial impact on teachers and student academic achievement. Provision of training, mentoring and coaching appears to be effective techniques to cultivate leaders' learning-centred leadership behaviour.
