What are the three situations of selecting and appointing middle school principals in China?

Implement the appointment system. The main procedure is that the education administrative department and the organization and personnel department will propose the selected objects together with the school leaders. After investigation, on the basis of listening to the opinions of the masses, the opinions on whether to choose are put forward, and finally the examination and approval are carried out according to the regulations on the appointment and removal of local principals.

Schools in a few areas implement the appointment system. According to special needs, open recruitment of principals to the society or other places.

Individual schools implement democratic election of principals. Most foreign countries recruit principals for the society and pay attention to open competition. For example, the selection of middle school principals in the United States is mainly for social recruitment. The general procedure is: the school management committee sets up an expert group to select the principal, and the local education committee sends people to participate. The selection team evaluates the candidates, and the school management committee makes discussions based on the evaluation materials submitted by the selection team, and finally makes a decision. As can be seen from the recruitment process, China emphasized the selection from schools, lacking competitiveness and narrow choices.

To cultivate and bring up a high-quality team of middle school principals, we must adhere to the principle of having both ability and political integrity, and select leading cadres according to the basic conditions and qualification requirements in the Regulations on the Selection and Appointment of Leading Cadres of the Party and Government, and combined with the standards of the National Primary and Secondary School Principals (Trial). In the process of selection, we should adhere to the mass line, make an all-round inspection, appoint and dismiss according to procedures, gradually increase the intensity of selecting principals facing the society, pay attention to the organic combination of knowledge, youthfulness and specialization, and select truly high-quality good principals.
