Guidelines

Principals may encourage or make it difficult to take action against bullying and prevent early drop out. On some occasions principals are also teachers and on some they are not. This is a fact that is important to consider, as dealing with pupils on a daily basis gives a particular knowledge that helps to take adequate decisions about lines of action and timing. Principals, whether teachers or not, are managers and management may ease or make it difficult the efforts made by other groups, teachers over all. For such purposes, although training of principals is the same as that for the rest of the teachers, it must contain management matters in order to encourage and optimize the work developed by their fellow teachers.
