| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to determine the challenges that head teachers of public secondary schools face encounter in improving and maintaining high academic performance and maintaining high levels of discipline in their schools. The study adopted the descriptive research design and targeted head teachers, deputy head teachers, heads of departments (HODs) and teachers. Two types of research instruments were used for the study namely questionnaires and structured interview schedules. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies and percentages were used in the analysis of data with the help of SPSS software. Findings were presented in form of tables and charts. The major challenges identified in improving and maintaining high academic performance were indiscipline, teachers’ attitude, poor infrastructure, failure to do assignments by students and uncooperative parents. The most widely mentioned problems encountered by head teachers in maintaining high levels of discipline in their schools were high enrollment of pupils, drug abuse and high exposure to televisions and videos. The study concluded that head teachers are facing serious challenges when they want to implement strategic management plans in the areas of improving academic performance and maintaining high levels of discipline in their schools. |
