CHALLENGES AND PROSPECTS OF MANAGING PRIVATE SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN KANO STATE

Abstract

Education is the process of bringing desirable changes in the behaviour of human beings. To achieve these, the educational system needs to pass through a sector either public educational sector or private educational sector. Public educational sector is an educational system which isowned and controlled by the government and private educational sector is owned and controlled by an individual, cooperate individuals, voluntary agencies or faith based organizations. The private school system has contributed immensely to the development of education and by extension manpower base of Kano State. It continues to do so even now. However, as private enterprises, most owners of private schools run their schools clearly as private property often paying little attention to laws governing the operations of the education industry. This has presented challenges to the state in a bid to run and deliver education needed for sustainable development of the state.
