Abstract
Part of studies on the efficiency of the education system, this study aims to determine the individual variables of the school principal which significantly influence the performance of schoolchildren in life skills. After analyzing performance, the conclusions are as follows:From the demographic background, the best performances are those of schools run by women; also, the oldest directors produce better results. This question refers to the director’s seniority and experience.Regarding qualifications, schools lead by Graduate Directors produce the best results against State Graduates and Licensees. The directors who have achieved a high percentage in state exams are not necessarily those with the best results for schoolchildren. As for the option followed in secondary school by the directors, no difference was recorded.Seniority as director and seniority in the current school affect results despite atypical cases. For recycling, non-recycled managers achieved better results than recycled. The best performances are those of the most populated schools, contrary to pedagogical expectations.Homogeneous schools are more efficient than mixed schools. The number of teachers and the number of qualified teachers in schools led to significant differences in performance.Schoolchildren's results differ significantly according to several characteristics of the principals. It seems important to consider these when recruiting and promoting teachers to this school steering. Considering that we are in the humanities sciences, these results should be considered with caution and relativity.

Abstract: (french)
Inscrite dans le cadre de l’efficacité du système éducatif, cette étude vise à déterminer les variables individuelles du directeur d’école qui influencent significativement les performances des écoliers en compétences de la vie courante. Après analyse des performances, les conclusions sont les suivantes:.Du background démographique, les meilleures performances sont celles des écoles dirigées par les femmes et les directeurs les plus âgés produisent de meilleurs résultats. C’est une question d’ancienneté et d’expérience.Concernant les qualifications, les écoles des directeurs Gradués produisent les meilleurs résultats face aux Diplômés d’Etat et aux Licenciés. Les directeurs ayant réalisé un pourcentage élevé aux examens d’Etat ne sont pas nécessairement ceux dont les résultats des écoliers sont meilleurs. Quant à l’option suivie au secondaire par les directeurs, aucune différence n’a été enregistrée.L’ancienneté comme directeur et l’ancienneté dans l’école actuelle jouent sur les résultats malgré des cas atypiques. Pour le recyclage, les directeurs non-recyclés ont réalisé les meilleurs résultats que les recyclés. Les meilleures performances sont celles des écoles les plus peuplées, contrairement aux attentes pédagogiques.Les écoles homogènes sont plus performantes que les écoles mixtes. Le nombre d’enseignants et le nombre d’enseignants qualifiés dans les écoles ont induit des différences significatives entre les performances.Les résultats des écoliers diffèrent significativement selon plusieurs caractéristiques des directeurs. Il parait important de considérer celles-ci lors du recrutement et de la promotion des enseignants à ce de pilotage des écoles. Considérant que nous sommes en sciences humaines, ces résultats sont à considérer avec prudence et relativité.
Author Keywords: Caractéristiques du directeur, performances, background démographique, qualifications, école mixte.
