MANAGERIAL
COMPETENCIES OF PRINCIPALS OF FEDERAL GOVERNMENT COLLEGES IN NORTH CENTRAL,
NIGERIA
Abstract
Federal
Government Colleges were established as model schools with world class standard
that
will set a
pace for other states and private secondary schools in Nigeria to emulate and a
pride
for the
Nation. Unfortunately the reverse seemed to be the case in most schools because
the
Principals
in North Central Nigeria seems not to be measuring up to expectations due to
poor
performances
of the students in external examinations, inadequate maintenance of structures
and
facilities in the schools, poor motivation of staff for capacity development
among others. It
becomes
necessary to investigate the extent to which school principals were competent
in the
management
of Federal Government Colleges in North Central, Nigeria. Five research
questions
and five
null hypotheses guided this study. Descriptive survey design was adopted for
the study.
The total
population for the study was 2060. A sample of 412 respondents representing 20%
of
the total
population of 2060, which were made up of 24 principals, 72 vice-principals and
316
teachers
drawn from the total number of 1966 teachers using random sampling technique
were
used. A
50-item structured competency questionnaire was developed by the researcher for
the
study. Three
experts validated the instrument. The data collected were analyzed using mean
and
standard
deviation to answer the research questions, while the Analyses of Variance
(ANOVA)
statistics
was used for testing the five null hypotheses. The overall findings of the
study
revealed
that, to a high extent the principals were competent in; financial management
and
school
community relationship. To a low extent the principals were competent in
supervision of
instruction;
personnel management and school plant maintenance. It was recommended that
Federal
Ministry of Education should organize regular training such as conferences,
seminars
and
in-service training to empower principals of Federal Government Colleges on
skills that
would make
them competent in all the areas of school management where they are competent
to
a low extent
for efficiency. Federal Ministry of Education should set up a monitoring
committee
apart from
federal evaluators that will from time to time supervise principal’s activities
to make
sure that
they are competent in school management to a high extent. The Federal Ministry
of
Education
should organize competency examination to the principals before confirming them
to
the
managerial positions. This will enhance principals’ competency in skills
acquisition to a
high extent
and will make Federal Government Colleges to be model secondary schools worthy
of emulation
by other secondary schools in Nigeria.

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Background
of the Study
The success
of any organisation be it educational institution or production
industry
largely depends on the ability to manage the organization efficiently by
those in
charge that are normally experienced, capable and competent in
organizational
management. Federal Government Colleges are secondary schools
commonly
referred to as Federal Unity Colleges for which principals are the
managers.
Secondary education as defined by the Federal Republic of Nigeria, in
the National
Policy on Education (2009) “is the education that children receive after
primary and
before tertiary education.” In the same manner, Oshunniyi (2011)
stated that
secondary education is the formal education given to children and
adolescence
which bridges the gap between the primary and tertiary education.
Secondary
education has two broad goals; the preparation of an individual for
useful
living within the society and for higher education. Nweke (2009) in his study
stated that
there are four categories of secondary schools in Nigeria; these are
Federal
Government Colleges that are managed by the Federal Ministry of
Education;
Government Secondary Schools that are managed by states government;
Mission
secondary schools that are owned and managed by the church; and Private
secondary
schools which are owned and managed by individuals and organizations.
This study
is focused on Federal Government Colleges which are managed by the
Federal
Ministry of Education.
