Abstract

This study investigates the extent of school self-management implementation from the perspective of secondary school principals in the Irbid Governorate. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 135 male and female principals in the Bani Obeid District. The results indicate a high level of self-management application in both public and private secondary schools. No statistically significant differences were found in principals’ perceptions based on gender, educational qualification, or type of school. However, significant differences were observed based on years of experience, favoring those with more than ten years. The study recommends developing educational programs to enhance school staff's understanding of the concept, importance, objectives, and roles associated with school self-management.
