Abstract:

This research discusses the aspects referring of the work of Bedouin women as school principals, and how social and professional barriers may be real challenges for them to establish their management and lead school. The chosen research method for collecting and coding data is qualitative, based on depth, semistructured interviews with seven principals from the Bedouin sector. The findings showed that the principals’ motivation and the educational staff’s support was perceived by them as a more influential factor than the influence of the Bedouin society on them, and is the first source of strength to overcome social barriers and professional obstacles they are facing and that were defined as negative factors and impede woman’s advancement and developing her carrier in many directions.
