facility, the principle serves as the instructional leader. A competent leader must accept
accountability for both the school's achievements and shortcomings. The needs of others
come before their own when a strong leader is in charge. No matter how challenging it may
be, a competent leader always looks for ways to enhance their school and then works out
how to do it. The success of each school is determined on its leadership. Without a principle,
a school is likely to fail, and that principal will soon find themselves out of a job.

What is the impact of these policies and procedures to student learning?

These policies and procedures have an influence on students' learning because they
assist a school in establishing norms and processes, as well as quality standards for learning
and safety, expectations, and accountability. Without these, educational institutions wouldn't
be able to meet students' demands for instruction in a structured and effective manner.

Policies and procedures work together to create a schedule for daily operations. They
guarantee adherence to rules and laws, provide direction for making decisions, and expedite
internal procedures.
