Principals are usually appointed by local education departments or school committees, and they will give priority to local people for this position. Because the local people are familiar with the local educational environment, culture and social background, it is beneficial to better manage the school and establish contact with the community. In addition, local people can better understand the needs and challenges of schools, which is helpful to formulate educational policies and development plans that are more in line with local conditions.

For Zhili Town Middle School, being a local principal also has some practical benefits. First of all, the headmaster may know more about the educational resources and professionals in the town, and can better tap and use these resources to improve the quality of school education. Secondly, it is easier for local principals to establish close ties with students, parents and communities, better understand their needs and expectations, and make corresponding adjustments and improvements in time. Finally, local principals can better coordinate and cooperate with local governments, social organizations and other relevant institutions to promote the development and progress of the school.

Of course, choosing a local principal does not mean excluding outsiders. Under certain circumstances, if foreigners have better experience and ability in education management, they also have the opportunity to serve as principals. However, in a local school like Zhili Town Middle School, it is more in line with the actual situation and interests to choose a local as the principal.

In a word, the arrangement that the principal of Zhili Town Middle School is a local is reasonable, which is conducive to the stable development of the school and close contact with the community. Of course, when appointing principals, we should also give full consideration to their educational management experience and ability to ensure that the school can get the best leadership.
