“…Most education scholars concur that principals are responsible for setting the tone of the school by ensuring effective school management and good instructional leadership. Most principals, however, are not fully prepared for the leadership function in the Somalia environment because they "are not professionally trained and competent for school management" Mathibe, 2007:523 cited by (Tuan et al, 2022);(W. Wamalwa et al, 2019). There is no mandatory professional training for those who want to become principals (Klein & Schwanenberg, 2022).…”

This research aims to identify the factors attributed to students' low performance in secondary school leaving examinations in the Benadir region of Somalia. The study evaluated the tendency of students' low performance in the examinations conducted from 2020 to 2022. Over the three years, academic performance has been below average, with a mean score rarely going above C-(below average). The study used a descriptive survey design analysis with basic random sampling techniques. The sample comprised 235 secondary school teachers, principals, and parents drawn from public and private secondary schools inside the Benadir region of Somalia. Data for the study was collected using a questionnaire, whereas Smart PLS 4.0 and SPSS 26.0 were used to test the hypothesis and analyse the respondents' profiles, respectively. Structural equation modelling (SEM) results were assessed to examine the causal associations between the independent and dependent variables through the mediator. According to the findings of structural equation modelling, the independent variables parent participation, school principals, and teacher qualification affect the incompetence of teacher's school principals and parents as a mediating factor led to students' low performance in secondary school leaving examination. The results also supported the hypothesis that the teachers, principals, and parents' incompetence used in this study as mediating factors may have mediated the association between representatives' schools and students' dismal academic achievement. The stakeholders were encouraged to create an environment enabling students to perform well in secondary school, leaving examinations by meeting the expectations of examining bodies.

In leading schools, principals often face ambiguity, changes in regulations, and challenges in learning. In dealing with these matters, the principal is required to always act professionally, so strengthening the principal's professionalism becomes important. There are many standards for the professionalism of school principals, including integrity, communication skills, and teamwork. The purpose of this study is to determine how integrity, communication skills, and teamwork affect the professionalism of Banten Province, Indonesia's school principals. This research is a quantitative study, with a sample of 122 school principals involved in Banten Province. The data were examined using multiple regression analysis, t-test, and F-test as hypothesis testing. The research results obtained are: i) Integrity has a positive and significant impact on strengthening the professionalism of school principals; ii) Communication skill has a positive and significant impact on strengthening the professionalism of school principals; iii) Teamwork has a positive and significant impact on strengthening the professionalism of school principals; iv) Integrity, communication skills, and teamwork simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on strengthening the professionalism of school principals by 62.1%. Based on these results, it is hoped that schools, supervisors, and the education office, especially Banten province, will pay attention and routinely carry out programs to strengthen the professionalism of school principals which include discussions on integrity, communication skills, and teamwork.
