Principalship and Effective Management of Teachers’ Indiscipline in Nigeria Secondary Schools

Education has been given top priority in the affairs of many nations. Over the years, it has been the desire of man to acquire knowledge. The attraction which education enjoys stems from the fact that it equips one for life. Anugom and Obioha, (2010:15) assert that “it is through education that an individual masters his environment and acquires the necessary tools for living worthwhile life†. It also forms the basis upon which economic, social and political development of any nation is founded. Investing in education helps in fostering economic growth, enhancing productivity, contributing to national and social development, and reducing social inequality. Secondary education is defined as the form of education children receive after primary education and before the tertiary stage. Abolade (2003:34) describe secondary education level as probably “the most unique and precarious of all other levels of education†. This is because, he saw it as a pivot or junction box of all the subsets of the tertiary level. It is that junction where the different higher education takes off.
