Due to lack of principal standards in Taiwan, it is helpful to review and understand the systems of principal standards established in other countries such as the United Kingdom so as to enhance professionalization of principals in Taiwan.

The purpose of this article is to examine the principal standard in the UK and its application. For the purposes of this article documentary analysis was employed.
