Abstract

The study investigated secondary school principals application of risk management strategies for secondary school improvement in riverine communities in Otuocha Education Zone. Three research questions guided the study. The study adopted descriptive survey design. The population of the study comprised all 28 public secondary schools principals in Otuocha Education Zone. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher. The instrument for data collection was validated by three experts in the faculty of education, NnamdiAzikiwe University, Awka. A pilot test was conducted to test the reliability of the instrument. The test of reliability using Cronbach Alpha method yielded coefficient values of 0.80, 0.77 and 0.72 for clusters B1 to B3 respectively. The Cronbach Alpha reliability analysis on the obtained data yielded a score of 0.76 for internal consistency. Mean was used to answer the research questions. Findings showed that principals of public secondary schools applied risk identification, risk analysis and risk monitoring strategies for school improvement to a low extent. The researcher concludes that risk management strategies for school improvement were applied to a low extent by public secondary school principals. Based on these findings, the researcher recommended among others that the Post Primary School Service Commission should regularly organize in service training for secondary school principals that is targeted at improving the skills of principals on ways of identifying risks and threats in their schools.
