The purpose of this qualitative research was to examine the transition system to secondary education from the views of school administrators and to offer solutions to the problems identified for the improvement of the system. The study group of the research consisted of 10 administrators working in public secondary schools in Ordu province in the 2020-2021 academic year. A semi-structured interview form consisting of 5 questions prepared by the researchers has been applied to the school administrators involved in the research. Interviews with administrators were carried out over the internet and telephone since face-to-face meetings may create negative situations about the course of the epidemic due to the Covid-19 epidemic. Taking into account the relevant literature, content analysis was conducted on the data obtained as a result of the interviews. It has been concluded that the school administrators involved in the research generally have a negative perspective towards the transition system to secondary education. They also criticized the adminstration phase of the exam. Having indicated that the Make-up Exam application, which was administered in the past and then abolished, should be put back into practice, school administrators stated that the Address-Based Registration System caused some downsides during the implementation phase. In addition, they stated that each change has been made in the existing system hurt the students and their parents and undermined their trust in the system. In their suggestions to correct the system’s deficiencies, they stated that the necessary planning for the change should be made in the long term and the system should be restructured.
