Abstract
This study aims to identify and analyse the characteristics of students’ comprehensive religious tolerance and examine leadership strategies that support its development. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that fostering comprehensive religious tolerance among students requires a holistic approach, encompassing active and passive tolerance, internal and external tolerance, and both empirical and non-empirical tolerance. Inclusive educational leadership is vital in translating these values into tangible behaviours through supportive policies and programmes. Collaboration with the community, parents, and religious leaders is essential in creating a tolerant school environment. This study highlights the critical role of educational leaders in cultivating a culture of tolerance through well-structured and sustainable strategies. A culture of tolerance is fundamental to fostering peace, justice, and strong institutions while advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
