Abstract:
This study explores the administrative functions of public secondary school heads in Buenavista
Agusan del Norte, aiming to inform the development of an enhanced training program. Key
administrative responsibilities are examined, such as strategic direction, curriculum development,
staff management, and emergency response planning. The research focuses on assessing the extent of
these functions and determining whether differences exist based on the profiles of school heads and
teachers.The study employs a descriptive research method, utilizing questionnaires and statistical
analyses such as percentages, ranking, and weighted mean. ANOVA, or analysis of variance, is used
to determine significant differences in administrative functions according to the profiles of school
heads and teachers.The Department of Education's role in recognizing and addressing the training
needs of school principals is emphasized, highlighting the importance of effective leadership in the
context of School-Based Management. The research aims to contribute insights for an action plan,
specifically an enhanced training program, to address the identified needs and challenges.
