CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
Secondary education occupies a strategic position in the national education system. It bridges the gap between the primary and tertiary levels of education in Nigeria. It absorbs the primary level and prepares them for the tertiary which is the manpower based on the nation. The secondary school is an institution established for refining human beings in terms of skills, behavior and all round of excellence.
A principal is regarded as the chief executive of a school; he is a leader and head of a secondary school. In this project we will analyze and review the roles of the principals in the management of secondary schools. It is a survey research on some selected schools in kebbi state, Nigeria.
Leadership is also of particular importance in the education administration because of its far reaching effects on the accomplishment of school programmes, objectives and attainment of educational goals. Peretomode,(1991), at the head of the leadership of secondary schools in Nigeria is the principal who administers the school with other teaching and non teaching staff.
Accordingly, the principal is regarded as the chief executive of the school, who is responsible for all that happens in the school Fasabi (2006). As the chief executive, the principal assigns duties to those who could perform the duties, through all responsibilities still reside in him as the accounting officer.
