This research explores the obstacles related to the educational monitoring of teacher collaborators by school principals in Benin with the aim of analyzing social dynamics within primary schools. To achieve this objective, we adopted a qualitative approach including a semi-structured interview guide and a focus group interview. The results showed that the excessive tasks assigned to principals, as outlined in the responsibilities of the principals, the low academic and pedagogical standards of some, and the imposition of assigned classes hamper pedagogical monitoring. This creates tensions and conflicts, leading them to resort to circumvention strategies to save face. These behaviors have significant implications for teachers' continuing education and training, with a view to ensuring the quality of educational provision. In conclusion, this research addresses a fundamental aspect of primary school life.
