Towards building quality management mechanism for Nigerian Schools

The growing complexity in the management of education in Nigeria has been attributed to such factors as increased students’ enrolment, teachers’ quality, dwindling financial resources, increasing technological advancement, and social demands for more result-oriented management of schools.Also, poor Students’ performance, poor skill acquisition and incompetence of some managers are common occurrences at different levels of education. To deal with these challenges, there is a need to build a quality management mechanism in everyorganization. This paper explores such managerial mechanisms that can be adopted to ensure quality performance of school heads at any level of education. Such mechanisms identified include ten golden rules of effective management and the three major managerial skills for quality assurance in the school system. It was recommended among others that Political interference in the appointment of managers should be eliminated while only qualified and experienced persons should be appointed as managers.
