Abstract: The survey shows that teachers prefer principals who have a high sense of responsibility, keep in close contact with their staffs, concern themselves with the teachers livelihood, choose the right persons for various posts, and are fair and just. Teachers are found to strongly dislike pricipals who flatter their superiors, cheat their subordinates and are unjust, arbitrary and indifferent to the problems and difficulties of the staff. It is up to the principals to continuously cultivate moral qualities and combat unhealthy tendencies in their conduct so that they can live up to the expectations of the teachers, win their confindence, turn their initiative to good account and, in this way, run the schools well.The study also indicates that a gap exists between what principals expect of themselves and what the teachers expect of their principals. The principals tend to stress the operational requirements of the school and underestimate the importance of human relations.What the teachers expect from a good principal is found to vary between teachers of different age groups and professional status.
