The Functional Tasks of School Principals in Improving Educational Outcomes

Abstract

This research uses the descriptive survey method to demonstrate school principals' functional tasks' role in improving educational outcomes. A questionnaire was applied to the sample comprising (n=311) individual, who was selected using a random cluster method. The respondents reported that school administrations have a moderate role in improving educational outcomes on all axes. School administrations perform their functional role at a high level, while teachers believe school administrations perform their role at a medium level. Technical and administrative functional tasks were the most performed by the school administration and at a moderate level. The school administration's fourth axis related to parents was the least performed. The findings also showed that School principals are working to improve educational outcomes to a medium degree and that the knowledge outputs field topped the axes, followed by the skills field. The emotion field ranked last. However, the researchers hope that the results of this research will help officials in the Ministry of Education and school administrations improve public education outcomes.
