Abstract

This study examined the demographic profiles, sports management skills, and adherence to the double reduction policy of principals in primary schools located in Hongshan District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China employing comparative-correlational approach. The study's participants consist of principals selected from 24 primary schools in the region. The findings highlight a diverse group of principals in terms of age, gender, educational attainment, and years of experience. The assessment reveals a low level of sports management skills and a gap between policy intentions and implementation of the double reduction policy. The study underscores the importance of professional development and support to enhance principals' skills and improve policy implementation in the given context. These insights contribute to a deeper understanding of the characteristics and challenges faced by principals in this specific locale.
