Summary/Abstract: As culture became more complex, the need for institutionalized and systematic education emerged. Throughout history, education has been influenced by social, economic, and technological developments and has continuously evolved. Modernization has become a fundamental requirement for sustaining educational activities under contemporary conditions. School administrators play a crucial role in ensuring the effective implementation of educational objectives. Particularly in primary schools, administrators undertake diverse responsibilities to achieve educational goals. However, they encounter various challenges while fulfilling these responsibilities. The purpose of this study is to identify the problems encountered by primary school administrators in their schools. The study also examines whether school administrators have received in-service training for problem-solving and whether they have requested such training opportunities. A questionnaire developed in accordance with the objectives of the study was administered to twelve primary school principals. The collected data were analyzed and interpreted. The findings indicate that school administrators face difficulties in ensuring student safety during school entry and exit times, maintaining and repairing school buildings, establishing facilities such as science laboratories, music rooms, and changing rooms, meeting school needs, and obtaining requested in-service training opportunities. It is believed that developing support mechanisms to address these issues will contribute positively to the quality of education.
