Abstract

Education remains a vital instrument for social and economic transformation, yet the quality of secondary education in Nigeria continues to face challenges linked to teachers’ low morale and limited institutional support. Teachers’ job commitment—reflected in promotion satisfaction, job security, and working conditions plays a central role in determining how effectively schools achieve their goals. This study examined the relationship between teachers’ job commitment and school effectiveness in public senior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. A descriptive correlational survey design was employed, involving 313 respondents (268 teachers and 45 principals) selected through multi-stage sampling. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire titled Teachers’ Job Commitment and School Effectiveness Questionnaire (TJCSEQ), and analysed with descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) at the 0.05 significance level. Findings revealed that both teachers’ job commitment and school effectiveness were at moderate levels. Significant positive relationships were found between teachers’ promotion and school effectiveness (r = 0.54, p < 0.05), job security and school effectiveness (r = 0.16, p < 0.05), and working conditions and school effectiveness (r = 0.30, p < 0.05). These results indicate that fair promotion, stable employment, and supportive environments enhance teachers’ dedication and contribute to more effective schools. The study concludes that improving teacher welfare and institutional management practices is critical for achieving sustainable school effectiveness. It contributes empirical evidence from North-Central Nigeria and offers a framework for policymakers to strengthen teacher motivation and educational quality nationwide.

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between principals' strategic planning and school effectiveness in public senior secondary schools in Kwara State, Nigeria. Four dimensions of principals' strategic planning goal-setting, resource management planning, data-driven planning, and communication planning were examined in relation to key indicators of school effectiveness, namely student academic achievement, teacher effectiveness, and parent and community satisfaction. A correlational survey design was adopted. The population comprised principals and teachers in the 413 public senior secondary schools in Kwara State, and a multi-stage sampling technique yielded 203 usable responses from 275 administered copies of the self-designed Principals' Strategic Planning and School Effectiveness Questionnaire (PSPSEQ), which recorded a Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of 0.81. Data were analysed using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation (PPMC) at the 0.05 level of significance. Results showed that principals engaged moderately to highly in all four strategic planning dimensions (overall mean = 3.21, SD = 0.614) and that school effectiveness was generally high (mean = 3.34, SD = 0.667). A significant positive relationship was found between overall strategic planning and school effectiveness (r = .393, p < .05), and each of the four dimensions — goal-setting planning (r = .569), resource management planning (r = .255), data-driven planning (r = .386), and communication planning (r = .507) was significantly related to school effectiveness. The study concludes that strengthening principals' strategic planning practices is essential for sustainable school improvement and recommends targeted capacity-building, stakeholder engagement, and data-driven decision-making in public secondary schools.
