Abstract

Educational administrators now play a vital part in shaping innovative teaching methods for Nigerian primary schools within the modern educational framework. The research examines the challenges educational administrators of Enugu State encounter when implementing modern teaching methods through subject-based British Montessori-style teaching. The modern teaching structure has successfully taken root in Lagos, Abuja, and Port Harcourt, but many primary schools across Enugu still choose to operate using a conventional one-teacher-for-all-classes format, which creates weaknesses in education delivery. The study employs qualitative-quantitative mixed methods to demonstrate that obstacles including insufficient financial support, changed resistance, and wrong beliefs about child development block innovation. Policy reforms, together with enhanced training and strategic administrative practice realignment, stand as recommendations that the paper presents to achieve contemporary delivery standards in Enugu's primary education system.
