If teachers are unwilling to devote themselves to administrative duties and accumulate practical experience in school affairs crisis management and school management, it will affect the quality and quantity of future principal selections, and face a campus leadership crisis.

In addition to implementing various information integration, comprehensively simplifying the project application and results reporting procedures, and supplementing it with substantive incentives such as administrative bonuses and administrative reduction of teaching, it will encourage outstanding teachers to devote themselves to administrative work by building an environment of stress relief, protection and professional honor.
