Abstract.
This study on the Evaluation of Principal-Students Personnel Management in Imo State Secondary Schools has the objective of determining the level of efficiency and effectiveness of principles in students’ personnel management. One hypothesis was formulated to guide the study. The study has survey and evaluation designs. The area of study is Imo State. The population of the study consists of all substantive principals of secondary schools in Imo State. A sample of five principals for the study was randomly selected from the three zones of the state (two from Owerri Zone, two from Orlu Zone and one from Okigwe Zone). A researcher-made rating scale was constructed to collect the data. The instrument for data collection was validated by two experts from Measurement and Evaluation. Its reliability established was 0.96 using Kendal’s Coefficient of Concordance method. Analysis of the data and test of the hypothesis were done using mean ratings of the principals. It was found out that the mean rating of the principals in student personnel management was less than 2.5 suggesting a poor level of students’ personnel management by the principals. Conclusion was made that this deplorable condition of students personnel management in our schools should have immediate checks and remedies for the smooth running of teaching and learning. Recommendations were made. Keywords: Evaluation, Principal, Student, Personnel, Management.
