School Principals play an important role for effective school function and management.
Qualitative research design was used to describe the whole phenomenon which was based on the
descriptions of the school principals' views and opinions about their selection, capability and
current practices. A semi-structured interview schedule was used based on the study’s research
questions. Data generated from the interview questions concerning professional capability were
coded thematically. Findings were discussed under three central and a number of extended themes
arising from the research. There were two ways to get the position of principal e.g. merit based
selection and seniority based promotion. Some principals showed their concern that seniority
based promotion does not ensure that the person selected is competent for the principals' position.
They confirm that the world of the principal is uncertain, ambiguous, constantly changing;
involving many issues. They further described that collaboration is the key to success and being
critical, analytical and creative will make a distinctive school leader. It was also revealed that
school principals' burdensome routine effect their mood. Consequently, changing moods and
emotions effect their work environment.
