School administrators were asked to supply information about the following: (1) five characteristics that they like and dislike in their schools; (2) the internal and external obstacles affecting the operation of the schools; (3) the climate of the schools; and (4) characteristics of their ideal schools. Results indicated that school administrators perceived their schools similarly. The administrators depicted their ideal schools with the following characteristics: a school with a trained managerial team, local management, absence of political pressure, a quality education with a contemporary curriculum, the solution of economic and infrastructural problems, the management of discipline, and parents who are interested in the school and participate in school activities.
