“…Considering that the financial situation of the school will directly and / or indirectly affect the quality of education and the financial contributions of the families to the schools will differ according to the socio-economic region where the school is located; it can be thought that this situation will create inequality among the schools. It is seen that this result obtained from the research is also compatible with the study of Yolcu and Kurul (2009) examining the effects of neo-liberal policies on the finance of primary schools. In addition, as seen in the official statistics used in the research, it can be thought that the central budget's inability to allocate sufficient resources for education encourages students to private schools, and this will take education away from the public and make it a service sector run by the private sector, as Ünal (2013) demonstrated with his work on the restructuring of education in capitalist society.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the expenses of basic education schools by the opinions of the managers of the primary education schools and the intermediate managers of the provincial and district national education directorates. What financial resources they use to cover these expenses, the problems they have experienced in this regard and the solution suggestions of the managers were determined. The research was conducted within the framework of phenomenology, one of the qualitative research designs. The study group of the research consisted of two intermediate managers of national education directorates and four school principals. The data of the study were gathered by using semi-structured interview forms prepared separately for school principals and intermediate managers. In the research, participants stated 15 income items (four main income items) and 9 expense items related to the financing of basic education schools. In the study, the most common financial problem in primary education schools is the lack of resources and thus the school principals' continuous search for resources. The common suggestions of all participants regarding the problems were transition to the school-based budgeting system, spending of all the funds used by the basic education schools by the school principal, use of objective criteria in source distribution to schools and making legal regulations for source distribution for the local schools.

“…This makes it necessary for school principals to be chosen among individuals who are sociable with high persuasiveness and advanced communication skills. According to the research results of Yolcu (2007), school principals face difficulties in finding off-budget resources and these difficulties differ depending on the socio-economic level of the school environment.…”

The aim of this research is to examine the roles and competencies of school principals working in project schools in terms of accountability, based on the views of school principals. This is a qualitative research which is based on the phenomenology design. The working group is chosen among the most well-known project schools in Istanbul using the maximum variation sampling method. Interviews were held with 12 school principals working at the Science High School, Anatolian High School, Social Sciences High School and Anatolian Religious High Schools in the 2019-2020 academic year. The data obtained from the interviews are coded using content analysis method and different 3 themes such as supervision, the functioning of education and integrity are obtained. In this context, it is indicated that project school principals felt themselves accountable most since they have a right to determine the managers and teachers they want to work with. It came to the conclusion that school principals cooperate with their internal and external stakeholders in all matters for the development of their schools.
