| description | Secondary schools in Nigeria operate in an extremely challenging environment with shoddy facilities and inadequate financing, which have historically led to subpar educational achievement. The primary objective of this research was to analyze the connection between managing policy implementation and the effective practice of secondary education. Due to poor policy implementation, Nigeria's education sector has performed poorly, which is quite concerning and has drawn the attention of many observers. A descriptive research design was adopted for the study. A sample of 320, participants was selected randomly from the sampled public senior secondary schools in the North-central zone, Nigeria. The hypotheses were tested using Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient and linear regression analysis. The result showed a positive and strong correlation between accountability and consensus and effective practice of secondary education. Also, the finding revealed that managing policy implementation positively influences the effective practice of secondary education. In light of this, it was recommended that school managers continue to be accountable for every single available resource to help in the protection of public or school property from abuse. Also, school managers should continue to give room for broad consensus to encourage cooperation of parents with the school managers with the school, provide a sense of belonging, enhance, mutual care and support as well and give way for opportunities to make a unique contribution towards the effective practice of secondary education. |
