First, some high school principals. There is no administrative level. For example, principals of private high schools usually have no administrative level. The reason is that private high schools do not belong to the system and are not institutions themselves. How can they have an administrative level? Not to mention private high schools, private universities have no administrative level. The most typical example is that Shi, a famous biologist, resigned as the vice president of Tsinghua University and became the president of West Lake University. Shi was a deputy department-level cadre before his resignation, but after he became the president of West Lake University, Shi had no administrative rank.

Secondly, in high schools with administrative levels, the principal's administrative level is often related to the affiliation.

Under normal circumstances, the administrative level of high school principals in high schools affiliated to the county education bureau is usually the official level. Although the high school principal is the section chief and the director of the county education bureau is also the section chief, the gold content of these two subjects is different. The former is the chief of the career department, and the latter is the chief of the administrative department. Although both the principal and the director are department-level leading cadres, the Education Bureau is the administrative department. Therefore, the director is always the leader in front of the principal.

The administrative level of senior high school principals affiliated to the Education Bureau of prefecture-level cities can be at the official level or at the deputy level. In another case, although a high school belongs to the county education bureau, it was rated as a provincial key middle school and a provincial demonstration middle school, and its administrative level was upgraded to a deputy county level. It was upgraded to deputy county level, but the administrative subordinate relationship has not changed. Therefore. In this case, the principal's administrative level will be higher than that of the director.

There are also some high schools whose administrative level is at the county level. The reason is that this part of the high school may belong to the Provincial Department of Education. On the other hand, some universities established at the main hall level set up affiliated high schools. The affiliated middle school is the secondary department of the university, and the administrative level of the president is also the county level.
