Summary: This textbook outlines the principles underlying school administration, and looks at the ways in which such principles may be put into practice at both school and governmental levels. It has been written for the West African student and uses examples and illustrations based on African experience. This book is primarily intended for university and college students of Education, but it will also be of value to all those concerned with education in relevant government ministries. The book is divided into three main sections: Part 1, "Theoretical Considerations', looks at the theoretical bases and concepts of educational administration; Part 2, 'Practical Implications for School Principals', relates the theories to the practicalities of internal administration in primary and secondary schools; and Part 3, 'Practical Implications at Governmental Level', examines the application of theories, concepts, and principles to the role of government provision of educational services.
