Former Soviet Union educator Sukhomlinski once said: "how the principal is,there is what kind of school.“In a way, it can be said that a good principalmeans a good school. Because the role of the principal is so important, In orderto ensure the quality of principals, many countries around the world haveestablished a relatively complete CFP system, and clearly defined thequalifications of the principal. The Chinese government has always emphasized onthe construction of the ranks of the primary and secondary school principals. Asearly as 1991, the national qualifications and job requirements of primary andsecondary school principals (Trial), which was issued by the Former State Boardof Education，had made provision for the qualifications of the primary andsecondary school principals. With the deepening of the reform of education, theautonomy of the school continues to expand, as the highest leader of a school,the role and functions of the principal have changed largely, social requirementsto the quality of principals further improve, these propose new requirements tothe qualifications of principals. To this end, the newly promulgated nationallong-term education reform and development plan (2010-2020) proposed:”toimprove the principal qualifications and appointment practices.”However,compared with the qualification system of other countries, the qualificationsystem of our country is still relatively backward. Therefore, it is necessaryto identify the problems of China’s principal qualification from China’s reality,and build a set of China’s principal qualifications system by drawing on advancedforeign experience, so as to promote the professional development of principals,thus contributing to development of schools, students’ success.As part of the principal management system, the qualification system ofprimary and secondary school principals sets out the conditions for access to theprincipal industry. Its requirements of principals in the knowledge and ability,to some extent, determine the level of overall quality of the group of theprincipals. Therefore, it is very important to research on the qualifications ofthe primary and secondary school principals, This paper, introduces the qualifications of primary and secondary schoolprincipals of foreign country and analyzes domestic situation of thequalifications of primary and secondary school principals, identifies theproblems of China’s primary and secondary school principal’s qualifications andputs forward to suggestions that improve the primary and secondary schoolprincipals’qualifications.
