metadata.dc.description.other-abstract:	It is commonly believed that one major party in successful implementation of Balanced Development Education (BDE) is primary school principals whose roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies are the most significant. Thus, this study aimed 1) to study the influence of roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies of the primary school principals to implement BDE in Kunming, Yunnan Province, 2) to explore the roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies of the primary school principals to implement BDE in Kunming, Yunnan Province, and 3) to develop guidelines for the principals of primary schools that will enable them to effectively implement BDE in their schools. This study adopted a mixedmethods research design approach collecting both quantitative and qualitative data from the three-phase sequential research process. The first phase was carried out by content analysis of sixty related documents for better understanding of BDE and quality education. The second step was collecting data from 268 principals about their perceptions of the principals’ roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies of the primary school principals with the questionnaire. Following the questionnaire data collection, a group of 12 volunteering interviewees were purposively selected for semi-structured interviews. Finally, a group of seven experts were invited to critically analyze the guidelines derived from the combined three sets of data sources. The findings revealed that 1) gender and age had no effect on the principals’ capabilities. The majority of the principals in the study did not influence roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies. Levels of education (from ‘diploma’ onwards) positively affect how they work. As regards years in the positions of the principals and the principals under BDE policy, it was revealed that experience in the job is an advantage. 2) The principals in the study took the roles of academic leaders, operational managers and network leaders, but it was found that in all activities to carry out, the principals need to show desirable personality traits and characteristics. Teamwork skills is the most necessary for both academic and management leadership. 3) With respect to the guidelines which highlighted the needs for the principals to develop explicit roles, responsibilities, leadership skills and strategies to implement Balanced Education Development, firstly, the principals must be BDE leaders in student development by ensuring that from different backgrounds students feel valued, receive attention, care and love in a safe and diverse learning environment for their physical and mental health. Secondly, the principals must work hard towards teachers’ professional development and their continual self-growth development to strengthen their abilities to provide quality education. Finally, the principals must nurture partnerships with the community and other external organizations such as urban schools by emphasizing good relationship with parents and cooperating and collaborating in exchanging both human and material resources with those schools
