TSC is working towards implementing the recommendations of the education taskforce, which suggest merging and managing nursery, primary, and junior schools under a Principal.
This proposed unit would be known as a Comprehensive school, led by a graduate Principal, assisted by deputy principals who must also hold at least a bachelor’s degree in education.
Currently, many primary school headteachers are P1 teachers without degrees, although some have diplomas. Primary headteachers with junior secondary sections in their schools were temporarily deployed as principals.

Headteachers who don’t meet the new requirements will be demoted and given reduced responsibilities, losing control over school operations and funds. Some schools have struggled to fill administrative positions.
The head of the Comprehensive school will be responsible for all sections within it, and the composition of the School Board of Management (BOM) is expected to change.
Additionally, the heads of Comprehensive and senior secondary schools will be accountable to the Ministry of Education rather than the TSC, according to proposals from the Presidential Working Party on Education Reforms (PWPER).
