The Role of Preparatory School Principals in Providing a Safe School Environment and its Relationship to Students’ Academic Achievement

Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the role of preparatory school principals in the North district within the Green Line in providing a safe school environment and its relationship to students' educational achievement from the teachers' point of view. The descriptive correlational methodology was used, and the questionnaire was used as a tool for the study after verifying its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of (351) male and female teachers who were chosen by random sampling. The results showed that the level of the role of preparatory school principals in the North district within the Green Line in providing a safe school environment was high, and that the level of educational achievement of students was high. The results also showed a positive correlation between the provision of a safe school environment and the level of educational achievement of students. The study recommended strengthening the practices of school principals that enhance safety in schools, providing principals with updates on security and safety in schools, and ways to improve school achievement.
