Background of the Study Financial management plays a crucial role in the administration of educational institutions, particularly in Nigeria, where public schools often experience financial constraints. In Sokoto State, as in many parts of Nigeria, school principals are responsible for overseeing the financial health of their schools, which includes managing budgets, allocating resources, and ensuring that funds are used effectively. However, many principals may lack formal training in financial management, which can result in inefficiencies, misallocation of resources, and poor financial decision-making.
In response to these challenges, financial management training programs have been introduced to enhance the skills of school principals in managing school finances. These training programs are designed to provide principals with the knowledge and tools they need to make informed financial decisions, prepare accurate budgets, and ensure accountability in the use of public funds. The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of financial management training on school principals in Sokoto State, focusing on whether such training leads to improved financial practices and better resource management within schools.
Statement of the Problem Despite the importance of financial management in running effective schools, many principals in Sokoto State have limited financial management skills. This has contributed to challenges in budgeting, resource allocation, and overall financial accountability. Financial management training programs are intended to address these gaps, but there is limited research on their effectiveness in the context of Sokoto State. Therefore, this study seeks to assess the impact of financial management training on the financial practices of school principals in Sokoto State, with a focus on how the training influences budgeting, resource allocation, and financial decision-making.
