Abstract

The principal has a major role to play in the efficient running of the school. It is necessarily the one who should influence the increase of quality as an essential factor in the coordination of all processes that take place in school institutions. In recent years the school is being considered as an organization, where the task of the principal is to try with all the means at its disposal; to plan, organize and lead human resources for a specific purpose in the positive function of the school. It is also the duty of the director to ensure that the process undertaken to coordinate the actions of others will be in function to achieve the set results. For this reason I have decided that in this paper we will address the topic "Management and leadership of directors in primary schools of the municipality of Lipjan ”.This topic aims to explore the role and importance of the principal in management, leadership and hat are its characteristics and work styles within the school. A large number of teachers and principals are of the opinion that the principal with his fair work and his commitment to the processes that take place within the school greatly influences the advancement of this institution. But all this is not enough without the knowledge of local laws established by our institutions in the field of education, administrative instructions, curriculum framework, other rules, curricula; of all administrative processes which are needed to know in order to understand the exact logic of the functioning of the school in the Republic of Kosovo. Our study seeks to see and understand correctly how principals as managers and leaders of an educational institution should reflect as a key factor of positive change in the field of education. The methods used to extract the data in this paper are quantitative and qualitative methods. The results presented in this paper will reflect the research conducted in the field, within a certain time frame. Directors and other staff have a key role to raise the level in terms of education, training, and training of new staff, in order to develop programs as quickly as possible and fulfill plans. The functioning of all these links has its own importance because only in this way the country will be able to join the high level of education to be compared with other countries. Numerous researches have shown that the director with his position can greatly affect the quality of teaching, which was also proven by our results. Therefore, it is important to know whether this knowledge is transmitted in the right form to the rest of the staff because this is of great importance in order to then be as feasible and functional as possible
