ABSTRACT
The study was conducted to see how effective the heads of Senior
Secondary Schools in the Ga district are. The study sought to investigate the
perception of teachers and students of the leadership effectiveness of these heads
in the Ga District of the Greater Accra Region.
The respondents of the study were teachers and students of five Senior
Secondary Schools in the Ga district, namely the Presbyterian Boys Secondary
School (Presec), St John's Grammar School, West Africa Secondary School,
Odorgonno Secondary School and Amasaman Secondaryrrechnical School. Ten
research questions were formulated to investigate such factors as the extent to
which teachers and students perceive their heads to be effective in the
administration of the school; and the extent to which teachers and students
perceive the performance of their heads in creating an enabling environment for
effective academic work.
The study revealed, among others, that heads of second cycle institutions
in the Ga district of the Greater Accra Region mobilize resources such as teaching
and learning materials for effective teaching and learning. They also involve their
teachers and students effectively in decision-making.
Based on the findings of the study, a number of recommendations were
made such as the need for heads of Senior Secondary Schools to promote
effective teaching and learning, and undertake income generating ventures to raise
fund for procuring resources.
