Abstract

This study examined the administrative tactics used by principals in Anambra State's public secondary schools to accomplish quality assurance. The study was designed as a descriptive survey. The study was led by three null hypotheses and three research questions. 267 principals from all of Anambra State's public secondary schools made up the study's population. The study employed the census sampling technique. The Principals Quality Assurance Strategies Questionnaire (PQASQ) is a structured questionnaire that the researchers created. Cronbach Alpha data were used to produce a dependability index of 0.84. To address the study issues, the mean and standard deviation of the obtained data were analyzed, and the null hypotheses were tested at the 0.05 level of significance using t-test statistics. The results showed that the planning, decision-making, and motivational techniques employed by principals at Anambra State's public secondary schools were not very important. The study came to the conclusion that in order to attain the quality assurance required to satisfy international standards, principals must improve their administrative techniques. Among other things, it was suggested that the government give public school principals opportunities for training to improve their administrative abilities in light of the findings.
