Abstract

Education plays a significant role in national development, and the effectiveness of school administration is essential for achieving educational goals. However, many public secondary schools in Nigeria continue to experience administrative challenges such as poor planning, ineffective supervision, inadequate communication, and inefficient resource management. This study therefore investigated the integration of strategic planning for school administrators’ effectiveness in public senior secondary schools in Ilorin East Local Government Area, Kwara State. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study comprised 854 teachers in 34 public senior secondary schools in Ilorin East Local Government Area, Kwara State. Using Krejcie and Morgan’s sample size determination method, a sample size of 266 teachers was selected from 19 public senior secondary schools. Data were collected using a researcher-designed instrument titled “Integrating Strategic Planning for School Administrators’ Effectiveness Questionnaire (ISPSAEQ).” The instrument yielded a reliability coefficient of 0.72. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data collected from 258 returned copies of the questionnaire. The findings revealed that the level of strategic planning integration among school administrators was high. The study further showed that strategic planning positively influences administrators’ effectiveness through improved decision-making, instructional supervision, accountability, communication, and resource management. The findings also identified inadequate funding, lack of training, insufficient government support, and weak monitoring systems as major challenges affecting strategic planning integration. The study concluded that strategic planning significantly enhances effective school management and administrators’ performance in public senior secondary schools.

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between technological planning tools and the achievement of institutional goals in public universities in Kwara State, Nigeria. Using a cross-sectional correlational survey design, the study involved 182 academic and non-academic staff from two public universities. Data were collected through the validated Technological Planning and Goal Achievement Questionnaire (TPGAQ), which demonstrated a reliability coefficient of 0.73. Descriptive statistics were used to examine the level, integration, challenges, and adoption of technological planning, while Pearson product-moment correlation was employed to determine the relationships between specific technological planning tools and institutional goal achievement at the 0.05 significance level. The findings showed a generally high level of technological planning and institutional integration, although inadequate funding, poor maintenance culture, and limited ICT personnel remained key implementation challenges. Project management software had the highest adoption level, whereas collaboration tools had the lowest. The technological planning tools were significantly and positively associated with institutional goal achievement (r = .425, p < .001). Among the specific tools, strategic planning software demonstrated the strongest association (r = .313), followed by collaboration tools (r = .252), project management software (r = .219), and learning management systems (r = .205). These findings indicate that technological planning is associated with institutional goal achievement, but the extent of technology adoption does not necessarily correspond to the strength of its organizational association. The study highlights the importance of strategic alignment, sustainable funding, technical capacity, maintenance, and continuous evaluation in strengthening technology-enabled institutional planning. Given the correlational design, the findings should be interpreted as associations rather than causal effects.
