Overview
Syndicate Educational Academy in Shopian, Jammu & Kashmir is on the lookout for a Principal. The school values educators who care about classroom culture as much as curriculum delivery.

- Drive a culture of academic rigour, discipline, and student wellbeing. Qualifications and skills:
- Master's degree with a recognised teaching/leadership qualification.
- Track record of leading improvement at section or school level.
- Hiring, coaching, performance management, and conflict resolution skills.
- Solid grasp of curriculum, assessment, and parent communication.
- High professional integrity and a clear communication style. Compensation and environment:
- Salary structured fairly across roles (₹12.4 LPA – ₹17.0 LPA).
- A calendar that respects academic delivery and personal time.
- Internal training, peer observation, and external workshops.
- A calm, professional, student-centred campus culture.
