(e) Information on PERSAL that shows the actual qualification is currently not complete on the PERSAL system. It is therefore not possible to give the number of Principals with a qualification from a further education and training as part of their professional teaching qualifications.
(3) A significant number of Principals have management qualifications. This could be school-related qualifications e.g. Advanced Certificate in Education-School Leadership and Management or general management qualifications. Existing information on the PERSAL system that shows the actual qualifications in this field is not complete. It is therefore not possible at this stage to show a specific number of Principals with a management qualification.
