ABSTRACT

The main thrust of this study is to evaluate the supervisory practices in public primary schools in Anambra State. The study was guided by four research questions and two null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significance. As a descriptive survey, a sample of 400 respondents were used for data collection. The data collected was statistically analyzed using mean and standard deviation for the research questions and t-test statistics for testing the null hypotheses. The findings of the analysis showed among other things that the supervisors in public primary schools use different supervisory practices, the supervisory practices of supervisors in public primary schools are very effective, the supervisory practices of external supervisors are more felt in public primary schools than those of internal supervisors. Gender is not a significant factor in determining the supervisory practices of school supervisors in public primary schools. Based on these findings, it was among others recommended that supervision should endeavour to perform their roles according to the specified guidelines on supervision of schools by the Anambra State Universal Basic Education Board.  

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Background to the Study

Educating the individual for self-reliance and productive citizenship is a major concern of the Nigeria educational system. At every level of the nations education strata, the quest for productive citizenship has become a critical factor such that without it, the nation’s developmental objectives would seem to be ineffective. The National Policy on Education 4^thedition (F.R.N 2004) see a situation where every citizen of the nation is offered life-long education; education that will be centered on the learner for maximum self-development and fulfillment; education that will be related to the community's needs amongst others. It also referred to primary education as the education given to institutions for children aged 6 - 11 years plus and that the rest of the education system is built upon it. Therefore the primary level is the key to successes or failure of the whole system. The goal of the primary education as stated in the National Policy on Education (F.R.N. 2004) is as follows:

a.         permanent literacy and numeracy, and ability to communicate effectively;

b.         lay a sound basis for scientific and reflective thinking;

c.         give citizenship education as a basis for effective participation and contribution to the life of the society;

d.         mould the character and develop sound attitude and morals in the child,

e.         develop in the child the ability to adapt to the child's changing environment,

f.          give the child opportunities for developing manipulative skills that will enable the child function effectively in the society within the limits of the child's capacity; and

g.         provide the child with basic tools for further educational advancement, including preparation for trades and crafts of the locality.

The document went further to say that these goals will form the basis of primary education in all the States of the Federation. In pursuance of the goals, primary education was made tuition free, universal and compulsory. This really brought about a great increase in the school population all over the Federation. The surging population of pupils all over the Federation made it necessary to employ more people to teach in primary schools in order to meet up. Many of the people recruited were not well qualified to teach....
