Abstract

This research sought to find out the practical administrative measures for involving the communities in primary school administration in the Udi Local Government Area of Enugu State, Nigeria. Descriptive survey research was adopted. All the 92 headmasters of the 92 primary schools in the area constituted the population. They were all involved in the study since the population was manageable. Two research questions guided the study. A “Questionnaire of Practical Administrative Measures for Involving the Communities in Primary Schools Administration” was used to obtain information from the respondents. The instrument which was duly validated and confirmed reliable was rated using the modified Likert’s four-point rating scale. A 2.50 mean score was adopted as a level of agreement. The research questions were answered using the mean and standard deviation (SD). The results revealed that the headmasters involved the communities in school curricular programmes but not in financial and physical facilities management, to an agreement level. The findings led to recommendations that the local government education authority should have operational guidelines and monitoring teams to ensure the sustenance of the school-communities’ relationships in all primary schools. Primary school teachers who aspire to higher education should be encouraged to study educational administration.
