Abstract

This paper aims to identify the opinions and experiences in school management held by women principals in Andalusian early and elementary public schools. Using the survey method, data were collected through a questionnaire from a sample of 206 principals selected through a several-stages procedure. Results show that most women principals were middle-aged, have an extensive professional experience and have no children or other people under their care. They occupied the headship due to altruistic and personal reasons, and they considered the lack of support from Educational Administration as the main problem they have to cope. Also, they conceived their work as a team effort with a facilitator function.
