Abstract: | Prevalence of lateness, absenteeism, truancy and other misconduct among staff as well as deteriorated school buildings, non-functional tools and machines, broken chairs, furniture, windows, louvers as well as cracked and leaking roof in secondary schools in Enugu State impelled this study to analyze resource management strategies adopted by principals for secondary schools improvement. To achieve the purpose of the study, two research questions guided the study. Descriptive survey design was employed for the study. Simple random sampling technique was used to sample 146 principals from the population of 291. The instrument used for conducting the study was A-30 item instrument titled ‘‘Principals Resource Management Strategies for School Improvement Questionnaire (PRMSSIQ)’’, designed by the researchers. The instrument was validated by three experts who are all lecturers in Faculty of Education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University. The cronbach alpha was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. This yielded a high reliability coefficient of 0.83 and .85 for Parts A and B respectively. The researchers together with five research assistants collected data for the study using the direct approach and retrieval method. A 95% returns was recorded. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the research questions.The findings of the study among others revealed that many material and human resource management strategies have not been adequately adopted by principals for secondary schools improvements in Enugu State. The implication of the findings of this study is that if the situation remains unchecked, the desired success in promoting learners’ friendly environment for school improvement will remain elusive. The Government through the Ministry of Education should organize at least annual workshop, seminar or conferences for principals especially in the area of human resource management. Conclusion was drawn. |
