CORRELATES
OF MANAGEMENT PRACTICES OF PRIMARY SCHOOL HEAD TEACHERS IN PROMOTING CHILD
FRIENDLY SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS IN SOUTH-EAST, NIGERIA
ABSTRACT
The study
examined the Correlates of Management Practices of Primary School
Head
Teachers in South East Nigeria in Promoting Child friendly School
Environment
and the factors that have relationship with these practices. The study
sought to
determine the demographic correlates of the management practices of
head
teachers in: (i) the provision of facilities and equipments in primary schools,
(ii) the
protection of the rights of children, (iii) the promotion of healthful
environment
for pupil, (iv) the promotion of gender equality, (v) fostering
collaborative
relationship between schools, parents and communities and (vi)
encouraging
pupils inter-personal relationships with staff Twelve research
questions
and six null hypotheses guided the study. A corelational survey research
design was
adopted. The sample of 192 was selected from the population of 5,714
primary
school head teachers in South East Nigeria using proportionate stratified
random
sampling technique. A 58 – item instrument titled Correlates of
Management
Practices of Primary School Head Teachers in South East Nigeria in
Promoting
Child-friendly School Environment Questionnaire (MAPOT) and an
Observational
Rating Scale (ORS) were used for data collection. Data were
analyzed
using the statistical package for social sciences version 20. Percentages,
means,
standard deviations and Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient
were used to
answer the research question, while t-test, ANOVA and multiple
regressions
were used to test the null hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance.
Findings
revealed that the state of facilities, equipment and materials for
instruction
are grossly inadequate. Findings also revealed that head teachers in
public
primary schools in South East Nigeria promote child-friendly school
environment
to some extent. Results also indicated that significant relationships
existed
between some demographic variables of state, location, gender, experience,
age and the
management practices of head teachers in the promotion of childfriendly
school
environment. It was recommended among others, that existing head
teacher
development programme should be intensified to improve the management
skills of
head teachers for effective adoption of child-friendly school environment.
Capacity
building workshops should be organized for retraining of head teachers
by different
states with a view to making the head teachers independent, proactive
and creative
school administrators.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of Study
Primary
education is a six-year form of education in Nigeria, which children
receive
before proceeding to secondary level of education. According to the
National
Policy on Education (Federal Republic of Nigeria, 2013), primary
education is
the form of education attended by children before secondary
education.
Primary education exists within the ambits of the law and is empowered
by the State
Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) that oversees the
management
and supervision of primary education.
From the
foregoing, it is safe to say that primary education is very important
in Nigerian
education system. Quadiri (2001) presents the following intentions of
primary
education in Nigeria: to help the child to develop intellectually, physically,
morally,
socially and emotionally to provide well-qualified citizens that are
capable of
going to secondary and tertiary institutions to be trained as professionals
in various
services that are essential for the development of the country; and to
assist
primary school learners who cannot further their education to become useful
citizens and
the community at large. Primary education is the foundation upon
which other
strata of educational edifice are built. Adesina (2011) adds that
primary
education serves as foundational levels of all other education by providing
children
with a good preparatory ground for further education. These aims agree
with the
provisions of the National Policy on Education (Federal Republic of
1
17
Nigeria,
2013:21) on the specific objectives of primary education which are to:
develop in
the child the ability to adapt to his changing environment giving the
child
opportunities for developing manipulative skill to enable him function
effectively
in the society within the limit of his capacity; and providing basic tools
for further
educational advancement including preparation for trades and crafts of
the
locality. For the attainment of these objectives primary school curricular
which
have been
developed to suit such desires are implemented by the primary school
administrators
with the cooperation of the teachers.
Heads of
primary schools are tasked with the implications of these
objectives.
The success of primary school education therefore rests on effective
primary
school administration which involves the participation of the local
communities,
well qualified and contented staff. Consequently, the administrators
need the
cooperation and support of the parents, teachers, the State Universal
Education
Board, Local Government Education Authorities and the Ministry of
Education.
The
authority of the head teacher according to Nwaham (2008) is viewed in
the position
occupied as well as task and responsibilities performed. Head teachers
develop and
implement school development plan, provide facilities and
equipments,
keeps records both statutory and non-statutory in addition to leading
teaching and
learning in schools. Leithwood & Jantzi (1999) classified these roles
and
responsibilities: as collaborative decision making providing both informal and
formal
opportunities.
