INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background to the Study

Globally, education remains the most important method for societal development in the underdeveloped countries. Many research on human capital development agree that a nation's human resources, not its capital or natural resources, ultimately determine the rate of its economic and social growth. The formal education system comprising elementary, secondary, and university education is the key institutional mechanism for generating human capital (Nsubuga, 2003). Because education is an investment, there is a strong positive relationship between education and socioeconomic productivity.

A staff development program is a procedure that aims to increase job comprehension, encourage more effective job performance, and set future career goals. It aids employees in understanding their roles. It refers to the chances provided to both new and seasoned teachers, as well as teaching assistants and paraprofessionals. These activities are intended to improve classroom instruction, allow individuals to grow professionally, introduce practitioners to the actual implementations of research-validated methodologies, and assist instructors in meeting their licensing and compensation differentials.

Staff development programs are the procedures and actions that any business uses to develop, enhance, and improve the skills, competences, and overall performance of its employees and workers.

A study discovered that head teachers were highly trained as instructors but not as school administrators. The training provided to head teachers throughout their teacher training is insufficient to prepare them for leadership jobs. As Kyeyune (2008) observed, there is a gap in leadership training that prepares head teachers for their roles. Given the education reforms and the numerous challenges that come with them, educational leadership is becoming a major concern. Today's secondary schools encounter problems that highlight the need of competent leadership.
