Bauchi State has recorded a shabby staffing system in its private secondary schools while that of public are not lacking in staff but redundancy.
This is an outcome of a research, tagged, “Comparative Study Of The Administrative Process Of Public And Private Senior Secondary schools in Bauchi State” and exclusively made availble to Apex News Exclusive recently.
The study credited to George Anyanwu, a Master degree holder of Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University (ATBU) Bauchi indicates that, “The public schools maintain a lead role in the administrative process especially in planning and evaluating” where as “The staffing process is the poorest”.
The study has indicated that, “According to the overall policy thrust of National Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) in education, education is to enhance the efficiency, resourcefulness and competence of teachers and other educational personnel through training, capacity building, and motivation.
“It is also to provide an enabling environment and stimulate the active participation of the private sector, civil society organizations, communities and development partners in educational development”.
The developmental plan of Nigeria the study mentions “advocates greater involvement and participation by the private sector in educational development, assuring that an enabling environment be created to increase private sector participation; establish good quality privately owned educational institutions at all levels that will in turn ensure the gaps in the provision of education are pilled”.
Frowning at the yardsticks of using number of students that pass class Exams to measure quality of formal education in Nigeria, the study pointed that educators and general public have time again expressed concern over factors that influence students’ performance in examinations insisting that,
“The most outstanding factor has to do with the organizational management of the schools through administrative process… head teachers required to first improve the management of the schools”.
This, it added can be done by “setting a clear vision for the schools and communicate this vision to the students, support its achievements by giving instructional leadership, provision of resources and being visible in every part of the institution”.
Speaking further to Apex News Exclusive on the findings of his study, George Anyanwu said, “Public schools staff in Bauchi are enough but doing little, while Private schools staff are inadequate but over working themselves”.
This according to him have an adverse effect of dwindling quality of education being obtained in the state and the entire North Eastern part of the country.
