Καραθανάση, Έρρικα
This thesis explores the attitude, perception, capabilities as well as readiness of the
principals of school units during a crisis management, i.e. the management of sudden events
like earthquakes, accidents, deaths etc that could cause disruption to the daily life of the
person facing a difficulty to cope with the situation. In particular, we examine the case of
crisis caused due to a bereavement due to the frequency they are encountered in the school
community and the significant adverse effects on the school population.
In order to draw conclusions, a quantitative survey by the means of questionnaire was
conducted for a sample of 114 principals of school units of Primary and Secondary education
of Regional Directory of Education of Epirus.
According to the results of the survey, the principals are in a position to identify and
manage a crisis in the school unit they lead. They state they are prepared regarding the
management of a crisis as in their majority they have developed a Crisis Management Plan
and set up Crisis Management Task Force. Everybody recognizes death as an important form
of crisis that can come up in a school unit and this is also indeed the crisis that they majority
of the participants have encountered. Although the phenomenon of grief appears in the school
unit quite often, what is transparent from the survey is that principals are not able to deal with
it comfortably. The level of ability to manage grief depends, according to the survey, on
factors such as the age of the respondents, the gender, their postgraduate education, and their
training in Psychological First Aid. Empathy and social skills are recognized as the most
important capabilities of a principal when it comes to grief management. Finally, the role of
the teacher towards the grieving student is considered as important and there seems to be an
imminent need for bereavement training both for students as well as teachers
