The aim of this research was to examine the roles and functions of school principals and the staff of junior secondary schools in Indonesia, in implementing the government school literacy movement (SLM) programme. An explorative descriptive research study was undertaken involving 48 school principals of junior secondary schools at the Sidoarjo districts in East Java Province, Indonesia. Data were obtained through questionnaires and descriptive analysis of the principals' responses. The results of this study indicate that all school principals have some literacy programmes. However, there are limitations in managing the programmes and deficiencies in the availability of text resources, as well as in the promotion of literacy. As a consequence of the study, it was found there is a need for professional development to overcome the difficulties and obstacles of school management. © 2017 WIETE.
