This paper aims to examine the relationship between planning
skills and the performance effectiveness of public school principals
in the state of Kuwait. A survey method is used on a randomly
selected sample of 200 principals from all main educational stages.
Appropriate statistical methods are used in analyzing data which
leads to several important results. The responses reveal a strong
and positive correlation between planning skills and performance
effectiveness through the educational process. The activation of
the three planning skills (Human–Intellectual–Technical) of
principals creates a path toward achieving the goals of the
educational institutions. Relevant recommendations are included.
