ABSTRACT
The study was carried out to appraise the management of primary schools by the local government education authorities in Bayelsa State. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The population comprised headmasters and teachers from Bayelsa and Yenagoa City Education Zones. The sample size for the study was 440 respondents comprising the entire 86 headmasters and 354 teachers, selected using simple random sampling technique. A researcher developed questionnaire was used for data collection. A Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficient method was used to obtain 0.90 reliability estimate for the instrument, while three experts face-validated the instrument. Five research questions and two null hypotheses tested at 0.05 level of significant guided the study. Mean and standard deviation were used to provide answers to the research questions while t-test statistic was employed to test the two hypotheses. A review of literature and empirical studies were conducted to provide the theoretical base for the study. A-29 item questionnaire on appraisal of the management of the primary schools by the LGEAS was used to get information from the respondents, based on four point rating. Based on the mean scores, the following results were obtained. That the LGEAS are very much aware of their management functions and performs them to a great extent in the state. The LGEAS carried out the supervision of primary schools to a great extent with particular reference to supervision of instructions, pupils’ enrolment, and maintenance of school buildings. The LGEAS are very regular in the payment of salaries and allowances in Bayelsa and Yenegoa city education zones of Bayelsa State. The primary schools in the state are equitably supplied with facilities and equipment by the LGEAS. The major problems militating against the LGEAS in the management of primary school include lack of promotion, transfer of teachers and their motivation. Other findings include poor motivation of teachers as well as lack of maintenance culture by the LGEAS in the primary schools. The LGEAS were faced with the problems of lack of funds for proper management. Based on the above, the researcher recommended that teachers’ promotion and transfers be carried out in the areas among others.
