The study aimed at identify the reality of administrative practices of bilingual private schools in the Sultanate of Oman in light of the experiences of some countries, and
revealing the significance of the differences between the responses of the sample members about the availability of these practices according to the variables: gender, job title,
years of experience, type of bilingual school, and governorate, and submitting suggested procedures for developing administrative practices, including: a summary of the
field study's results, the dimensions of the proposed procedures, and the requirements
for implementing the proposed procedures.
To achieve the study's goals; the researcher followed the descriptive approach, and
used a questionnaire to collect data which consisted of 55 statements distributed into
five axes: Administrative practices related to the strategic planning process in private
schools, administrative practices related to the professional development of the teacher,
administrative practices related to community participation, and administrative prac tices related to effective communication between private schools and the Ministry of
Education, and proposals for the development of private school management. The study
sample consisted of principals, their assistants, and teachers in bilingual private schools
in the Sultanate of Oman affiliated to the following governorates: Muscat, Al Batinah
North, and Al Dakhiliyah. The study sample consisted of 159 responses, (40) of the
sample are Directors/assistant directors, and (119) of it are teachers. The results of the study showed that these administrative practices of bilingual pri vate schools in the Sultanate of Oman came within the degree of medium practice, and the administrative practices related to the strategic planning process in private schools got the highest averages, while the administrative practices related to effective commu nication between private schools and the Ministry of Education got the least. The study's results revealed that there were statistically significant differences at the signif icance level (0.05) attributed to the variables of gender and the type of bilingual school
regarding the reality of administrative practices in private bilingual schools in the Sultanate of Oman. While it showed that there are differences due to the variable years of experience in the axis of administrative practices related to the strategic planning process in private schools in favor of years of experience (less than 5 years).
