Abstract

This study aims to determine the duties and responsibilities of primary school principals in the remote area of Suator District, Asmat Regency, as well as the factors that support and hinder elementary school principals in carrying out their duties and responsibilities.

This study employed qualitative methods. Observation, interviews, and documentation were used to collect data. Meanwhile, data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data presentation, conclusions, and verification. This study was conducted at two elementary schools in Suator District, Asmat Regency, namely Inpres Burbis Elementary School and Inpres Vagabus Elementary School.

The findings of this study indicate that: 1) elementary school principals' duties and work in remote areas as leaders, educators, managers, supervisors, innovators, motivators, and administrators have gone well; 2) the implementation of elementary school principals’ duties and work in remote area in carrying out management functions starting from planning, organizing, mobilizing, and supervising has been carried out effectively, but there are still obstacles in the mobilization process as a result of the low-level of teaching staff discipline in regards to student absenteeism; and 3) supporting factors for elementary school principals in remote areas in carrying out their duties and work including the enthusiasm of students in participating the learning process, student’s parents and the surrounding community who have begun to recognize the importance of education, and the existence of a harmonious relationship between the principal, staff, and teaching staff. On the other hand, inhibiting factors include the lack of professional teaching staff, the still-relatively low level of teacher discipline, inadequate facilities and infrastructure, the absence of internet access, any provider's weak network, and the lack of electrical sources. Other impediments include the high cost of living necessities, inconvenient transportation options, and inhospitable and inaccessible geographical conditions.
