Being used in collecting the data; semi-structured interview form was developed by the researcher. Expert opinions were received for the purpose of determining the validity of the study. Interview form was reorganized after receiving the expert opinions. The data were examined and analyzed by three different researchers for the purpose of increasing the validity and reliability of the study. While analyzing the data, the views of participants were coded separately. Descriptive analysis technic was used in analyzing the data. As a result of the study, the following findings were reached: The present regulation ignores the principle of competence in assignments. Short periods are not sufficient for forming and sustaining a school culture. An administrator that works at the same institution for years may become insensitive toward problems. Change would create a dynamism. Evaluation criterion are far from being objective. Academic studies are not valued sufficiently. It is a regulation that ignores postgraduate education in the field. Objective and scientific principles are not taken into consideration while assigning administrators. The fact that school administration is not considered a professional occupation is an important deficiency. Written examinations should be applied to all candidates that intend to become administrators. Competent, equipped and well-trained administrators should be assigned in administrative levels in order to develop and efficiently conduct the process of education.
