Shortage of School Principals and its Implications
September 6, 2025
There is a shortage of school principals, as announced by the president of the Educational Service Commission, who stated that eight positions have been advertised. During the summer process, 34 applications were submitted for 31 positions, but ultimately only 27 became principals, leaving some positions unfilled. Many principals remain seconded to the Ministry of Education, raising concerns and complaints. This situation highlights the challenges facing education. Finding school leaders remains a critical issue.
