Background of the study
The richness of a country is mostly defined by its people resources, accessible natural resources, and economic progress. Human resources, above all, utilise natural resources, collect physical capital, and construct the socio-political system required for national growth and development.
Chen, & Tjosvold (2016) established that human resources can only be created via adequate education that is tailored to the individual and societal demands. This is why every government is interested with educating its citizens. The necessity for education stems from the belief that today's children will be tomorrow's leaders, hence the local, state, and federal governments are all involved in providing educational services to their population.
Significantly, the Nigerian educational system is decentralised and democratic in nature. Nwadian (2018) noted that education in Nigeria is on the concurrent list for both the federal and state governments, both in policy and practise. The Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) stated in section 96 of the National Policy on Education (1981:P):
- The federal government must establish basic educational requirements at all levels.
- Both the federal and state governments will be responsible for university, technical, pre-primary, and post-primary education.
- Education Boards or Authorities will be in charge of school management, as well as the appointment, posting, and disciplining of teachers.
- The different state governments and the Federal Ministry of Education are responsible for creating and overseeing secondary and other schools, providing they satisfy the federal government's minimal criteria. This is democratic in character and is intended to be passed on to individual institutions through their separate heads rather than ending with state ministries of education.
- The state schools boards or the state post-primary education make the appointments of principals and teachers in state schools, and the decisions or reports are transmitted to the state Ministries of Education for approval.
As a result, a purposeful structured and planned educational system aiming at instilling in the kid acceptable society behaviours, skills, knowledge, habits, and values is required. The aforementioned is dependent on the sorts of schools given, how they are organised, the calibre of instructors and administrative leaders, and the attitude of parents toward their children's and wards' education.
Abdulrasheed, & Bello (2015) in his study pointed out that the government establishes schools, recruits instructors, assigns them to various schools, pays them monthly wages based on their credentials, and inspects them on a regular basis to assess the extent to which pre-determined objectives are reached. Before sending their children or wards to school, parents must supply them with the essential materials. What happens after that, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m., is under the supervision of the school's principal and instructors.
The success or failure of a secondary school is primarily determined by the principal's leadership style. The secondary school cannot survive as an institution without the principal and instructors who complete all of the necessary school tasks. The principal is in charge of the school's administration. The teacher, for his part, is viewed as a social worker, a modernizer, and a pacesetter who creates an environment conducive to good teaching and learning. As a result of his professional expectations in acting in loco parentis and providing quality instructions, it becomes necessary for them to be provided with a rich and stimulating working environment managed by a good and understanding leader in order for educational objectives to be smoothly operationalized. This is to guarantee that educational goals are met, as evidenced by pupils' overall performance in the school certificate test.
