INSTRUCTIONAL SUPERVISION AND QUALITY ASSURANCE IN SCHOOLS IN NIGERIA
Journal Title: European Journal of Business and Social Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 9
Abstract
This paper carried out an appraisal of instructional supervision and quality assurance in schools in Nigeria. It looked at the concepts of instructional supervision and quality assurance in schools, prerequisites, advantages, factors militating against desirable instructional supervisions and quality assurance and strategies for setting effective instructional supervision and quality assurance. The survey of the present standard in schools which was x-rayed showed that the instructional supervision and quality assurance in schools are loosing control despite the effort of the government in setting up the standard. This is due to inadequate funding, poor management of available resources, moral laxity among individuals within the system, inadequate instructional facilities, inadequate infrastructural facilities, indiscipline among students and staff, appointments and promotion of school administrators and teachers not based on merit etc. Despite all the problems, there is hope to bring the standard to globally and nationally desirable state. Based on the problems above, useful recommendations were made especially that the government should increase education funding; that there should be judicious and accountable utilization of available fund and decision should be taken to implement the application of 26% of Nigerian national income to education as recommended by UNESCO.
