Özet
This paper examined principals’ quality assurance strategies in secondary schools
in Osun State, Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design.
Stratified random sampling technique was used to select 10 male and 10 female
principals, and 190 male and190 female teachers. ‘Secondary School Principal
Quality Assurance Questionnaire’ (SSPQAQ) and ‘Students’ Academic
Performance Checklist’ (SAPC) were used to collect data for the study. The
instruments were validated, and test-retest method used to determine their
reliabilities yielded 0.74 and 0.71 respectively. One main hypothesis and five
operational hypotheses were formulated to guide the study. Descriptive and
inferential statistics were used for data analysis. The study further showed that
principals’ gender and school location had no significant impact on students’
academic performance. The implication of the findings is that ability of the
principals to put in place strategies that would ensure quality in the production of
school output is a critical factor in determining school effectiveness. It is against
this background that the paper concludes that quality assurance is a function for all
stakeholders within the school system. Because it is a management function, the
principal should coordinate teachers and other staff members to see that their
activities are geared towards ensuring quality in the schools. As part of quality
assurance strategies, the principal should recognize the philosophy of education in
all aspects of school activities.
