Abstract

This study examined the in-service training needs of secondary school principals in two broad areas (i) staff personnel administration and (ii) student personnel administration. This study adopted a survey research design. Following a thorough review of related literature, administrative responsibilities of principals were identified. These formed the basis for the construction of the instrument Principals’ Inservice Training Needs Instrument (PITNI). The two roles of the principal i.e. staff personnel administration and student personnel administration formed the two sections. Each section had its relevant administrative responsibilities called skills. The instrument was face-validated by experts. The reliability of the instrument was determined using Kudar Richardson formula 21 and found to be 0.86. The instrument which was based on a four-point likert scale was administered to 92 principals in Enugu and Nsukka education zones of Enugu State. The data obtained were analyzed using mean scores, standard deviations and t-test statistic. The results showed that the principals agreed that the administrative responsibilities are important for their in-service training. In this regard, gender, nature of school (boarding and non-boarding) and experience were not significant factors. One major finding of this work is that the two leadership roles under study should be considered as the most essential areas in school Administration and should be emphasized by Ministry of Education, Post Primary School Management Board etc. The implication of this study is that since all the respondents agreed that they need the skills in the instrument, in-service training for principals should therefore be organized for them using the identified needs.
