Abstract

This study examines the principal's role in improving academic quality at State Elementary School 3 Bandungharjo, Jepara. The principal's roles as an educator, manager, and supervisor are essential for enhancing education quality. Challenges include time limitations, low teacher motivation, budget constraints, and limited teacher involvement. Classroom supervision and evaluations occur, but follow-up actions are insufficient. The study suggests better time management, needs-based training, optimised resources, and improved evaluation systems. Recommendations include government support for competency development and increased funding for educational facilities.
