摘要:This study examined the place of graduate qualification in principal appointment process in Nigeria. It also investigated the influence of principals’ graduate qualifications on secondary school effectiveness in Nigeria. Using the descriptive survey design, the study adopted multi-stage sampling technique. Three instruments: “School Effectiveness Questionnaire for Principals” (SEQP), “School Effectiveness Questionnaire for Teachers” (SEQT) and a semi structured Interview Guide were used in the study. The study found that: graduate qualification had no influence on selection to the post of principal as it was not one of the requisite qualifications for appointment as principal; that quality of the school principal in terms of qualification possessed had positive influence on school effectiveness. Incorporation of relevant post graduate certification as part of requirement for principal appointment was recommended.
