Abstract

The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the capacity building needs of secondary school principals in Enugu State. This study adopted a survey research design. To guide the study two research questions and two hypotheses were formulated. Following a thorough review of related literature, two leadership roles, equipment and physical facilities and finance management and twelve administrative responsibilities of principals were identified. These formed the basis for the construction of the Principal Capacity Building Needs Instrument (PCBNI). The two leadership roles of the principals formed the two sections of the instrument. Each section had relevant administrative responsibilities called skills. The instrument was face validated by experts. The reliability of the instrument was calculated using Kudar Richardson formula 21 and arrived at 0.86. The instrument which was based on a five point likert scale was administered to 99 principals of Agwu and Agbani Education zones of Enugu State. The data obtained were analyzed using mean scores, standard deviation and t-test statistics. The research questions were answered by using mean (x) scores and standard deviation (SD). For further analysis of the hypotheses t-test statistic was used. The results showed that the principals agreed that each administrative responsibility is important for their capacity building. In this regard gender and experience were not significant factors. A major recommendation of this work is that Government should plan a curriculum which will incorporate the areas of need for the capacity building of principals in universities in their faculty of education. The implication of this study is that the instrument is not an achievement test. Hence the item analysis was not calculated.
