AI-generated Abstract

This research explores principals' perceptions regarding their roles within educational institutions and the effectiveness of their academic preparation for these roles. It identifies the responsibilities principals feel they must fulfill, evaluates how adequately their training has equipped them to tackle these responsibilities, and analyzes variances in perceptions based on various demographic factors such as school level, student enrollment numbers, principal experience, highest degree attained, sex, and race. Results indicate significant relationships between principals' perceived preparedness and the challenges they face, highlighting notable differences dependent on categorical groupings.
