Effective performance management of teachers and school principals is a critical determinant of educational quality and institutional accountability. This study analyses national policies and regulatory frameworks governing performance management within the education sector, drawing upon official policy documents, national regulations, and implementation reports. Employing a literature-based and policy analysis approach, the study identifies significant gaps between policy formulation and practical implementation at the school level. The findings reveal persistent challenges, including limited comprehension of performance indicators, inadequate monitoring and evaluation mechanisms, and insufficient resource support. The analysis underscores the need to strengthen managerial competencies, enhance professional development, and establish equitable and sustainable performance evaluation systems.
