PROJECT TOPIC: CONFLICTS AND CONFLICTS RESOLUTIONS IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS ADMINISTRATION

Project Body:


CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Conflict have become almost normal and regular between principals of secondary schools in Imo State and the teachers under them. This has no doubt retarded the success of the administration of the institution in particular and the state educational system at large.

Mullins (1999; 816) sees conflict as a reality of management and organizational behaviour; he sees conflict as a term synonymous to competition since both involve at least some degree of opposing behaviour, this shows that he sees conflict as a term which occurs when there are opposing behaviours or when there are incompatibility of views and goals.

Conflict has been defined in the following ways by the Oxford Advance Learners Dictionary, sixth edition (2000; 239).

A Situation in which people, group or countries are involved in a serious disagreement or argument;

A violet situation or a period of fighting between countries or groups; b

A situation in which there are apposing ideas, opinions, feelings, or wishes;

A situation in which it is difficult to choose

Having defined conflict which is the key word of the topic, the above can now be read or interpreted to mean-opposing behaviours, ideas, opinions or feelings in secondary school Administration and their resolution among principals in Owerri Educational Zone of Imo State.

The position of secondary school principal is a highly sensitive one as it is the office of the Head of the school Administration.

Efficient administration among other things determines the success of any system of Education.

In the bid to attain the highest possible level of success in their administration, each principal tries to explore any possible means, at times they over step their bounds by rigidly supervising the teachers under them and rigid supervision tends to style the initiative of the teachers. It is in this time that the teacher wants less supervision so as to be effective. Thus conflict comes in as rigid supervision desire a free hand. Another way through which conflict ensures is when some lazy and undedicated teachers are disciplined by the principal in-charge, even the bible acknowledges that no discipline is fun to receive.
