Creative Quality of Educational Managers in Functional Education as a Panacea to Achieving Sustainable Development in Anambra State, Nigeria

Abstract

This paper investigated creative quality of educational managers in functional education as a panacea to achieving sustainable development in Anambra State, Nigeria. Three research questions were answered and a null hypothesis tested. The population was all the principals in Public secondary schools in Anambra State. Two hundred male and female principals were sampled for the study. A self-developed structured questionnaire titled Creative Quality of Educational Managers in Functional Education as a panacea to Achieving Sustainable Development Questionnaire (CQEMFEPSDQ)’ was used for data collection. Data were analysed with mean and t-test at .05 alpha. Major findings of the study included Education system, variables for the absence of creative and quality Educational Managers and strategies towards ensuring the prevalence of creative and quality Educational Managers in Nigeria’s Educational Sector. The conclusion of the study was that without creative and quality educational managers, the chances of achieving sustainable National development will be very slim, if not non-existent. Based on the findings, it was concluded that government should completely overhaul the system of appointing educational managers.
