It also aims at exploring the effects of the variables of sex, academic qualification, experience years and education level on the principals’ answers to the researcher’s questionnaire, of 52 items distributed over three areas.

The questionnaire was administered to a sample of 60 principal BESPs.

Findings indicate that the BESPs of North Batina region in Oman have administrative and technical skills and abilities which enable them to deal with the crises wisely and competently with a statistical significance at P ≤ 0.05.

The areas of the scope of these skills have the statistical significance at P ≤ 0.05 respectively.

Some items have got the highest percentage while some others have got the lowest percentage of importance of the BESPs administrative and technical skills in dealing with school crises.
