ABSTRACT
Amid the evolving landscape of the post-pandemic era, understanding the COVID-19 knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) levels among school principals assumes critical importance. This research examines the COVID-19-related knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) levels of school principals in Indonesia. A survey involving 251 principals utilized the SKAPCOV-19 questionnaire. Findings indicated predominant “good” knowledge but variations in attitudes and practices. Gender and educational background significantly impacted practice levels; females and higher-educated principals exhibited better adherence. While no substantial differences emerged in knowledge and attitude across demographics, these insights highlight the imperative of bridging the knowledge-practice gap. Tailored educational strategies, leveraging demographic strengths, can amplify pandemic management. Collaborative efforts among institutions are essential for fostering a resilient educational environment and broader community health.
